Superscoring SAT: How do I do it?

Quick question. I've heard about superscoring SAT, and I think it's something I should do. Does anyone know how to go about it? Thanks in advance!

Superscoring the SAT isn't something you need to do manually, it's actually up to the colleges you're applying to whether or not they use this practice. Superscoring means that a college considers the highest individual section scores across all dates you took the SAT. For example, if you scored higher on Math in March and higher on Evidence-Based Reading and Writing in May, a college that superscores the SAT would consider these two high section scores from different test dates.

When you submit your official SAT scores through the College Board, all your scores from every sitting will be sent to the colleges. If a college superscores the SAT, their admissions office will mix and match your highest individual section scores to create the highest possible composite score. So, you don't have to worry about doing this process yourself.

Do note, however, that not all colleges superscore the SAT, and policies can vary widely. Make sure to check each college's SAT score use policy to understand how they consider your scores.

Keep in mind, the SAT itself doesn't provide a superscored total; you'll only see this reflected in how the college reviews your application. For example, your College Board score report will show the scores for each section of each test you've taken, but colleges that superscore will calculate your highest possible composite score behind the scenes.

Remember to consider each college's specific superscoring policy when deciding how many times to take the SAT and which scores to send to colleges. It's also crucial to perform well in each section of the SAT, because you never know which high score may factor into your superscore. Good luck with your test taking and college applications!
