I'm planning on applying to the Naval Academy, and I'm trying to figure out their standardized test score policies. Should I choose score choice, or does the Academy require submission of all SAT scores?
The United States Naval Academy has a policy that's often referred to as "super-scoring." This means they take the highest SAT score from each section across all dates you have taken the SAT, and then combine those scores. Therefore, it is technically to your advantage to submit all SAT scores, as it gives them a larger pool of scores to pull your best from.
However, they do not explicitly require every SAT score from all your testing dates. In the end, the choice to use Score Choice or submit all SAT scores is up to you. If you have individual section scores that are significantly better in one sitting than any other, you might want to use Score Choice.
But remember, the most important thing is to make sure you're submitting at least one full set of SAT scores (one Math score and one Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score from the same test date) in accordance with their application guidelines.
