Does having a superscored SAT look bad?

Hey guys! I've taken the SAT a couple of times now, and my highest scores in each section come from different test dates. Does having a superscored SAT look bad on my college applications, or will it have the same weight as getting my highest scores on one test date?

Hey there! No need to worry—having a superscored SAT does not look bad on your college applications. In fact, many colleges encourage students to submit their superscored SAT scores, as it showcases your best performance in each section. Admissions officers understand that test performance can vary across different test dates, and superscoring allows them to get a more accurate representation of your abilities.

It's essential to check the admissions policies of the specific colleges you're applying to since not all schools accept superscores. Some schools will only consider your highest overall score from a single test date, while others will be open to taking the highest scores from different test dates.

Be sure to look up the policies of each college you're interested in and submit your scores accordingly. As long as the colleges you apply to accept superscores, having a superscored SAT will have the same weight as getting your highest scores on one test date. Good luck with your applications!
