Hey everyone! I'm planning on taking the SAT a couple of times and I'm banking on superscoring to boost my overall score. I wanted to know if UT Austin does that? Thanks!
Yes, the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) does implement superscoring for the SAT. This means that if you take the SAT more than once, the school will consider the highest score from each section across all your test dates to create your superscore. For instance, if you scored a 620 on Reading and Writing and a 660 on Math in your first SAT, then a 650 on Reading and Writing, and a 700 on Math in the second attempt, UT Austin will consider your SAT score as 650 (Reading and Writing from the second attempt) + 700 (Math from the second attempt) = 1350. This can come in quite handy when increasing your total SAT score. Good luck on your test!
