Hey everyone! Does anyone know if Purdue University uses a superscoring system for the SAT? I just want to know how they'll consider my scores when reviewing my application.
Yes, Purdue University does use the superscoring method for the SAT. This means that they will consider the highest section scores across all your SAT tests that you've taken and combine those to create your superscore. For example, if you took the SAT twice and received the following scores:
Test 1:
- Math: 700
- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 650
Test 2:
- Math: 670
- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 700
Purdue would create a superscore by taking your highest Math score (700) and your highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score (700), resulting in a superscore of 1400. It's always a good idea to send all your test scores to Purdue so that they have the opportunity to consider your highest section scores from each test. Best of luck with your application!
