Superscoring refers to selecting your best section scores from multiple test dates to get a new final score. As you probably know by now, the final SAT score ranges from 400-1600. It is the sum of the Reading and Writing (RW) and Math section scores on the test. Each section of the SAT is further scored on a scale of 200-800.

Let's understand superscoring with an example. You take the SAT twice. In your first attempt, you score a 500 on your RW and a 600 on your Math. As a result, your final score is 1100. In your second attempt, you score a 600 on RW and only a 500 on Math, which makes your final score 1100 again. However, when you superscore your SAT, you select your best section scores, that is, 600 on RW and 600 on Math, giving you a new final score of 1200.

To know in detail how superscoring is done, check out our SAT superscore blog and SAT scoring guide to learn about all the scoring components and the process of calculating scores.

Why Do Colleges Superscore?

While submitting your admission application to colleges, you might be wondering why some colleges accept SAT superscores. Here are a few reasons:

  1. It helps colleges maintain their reputation

    2. Colleges that superscore the SAT are able to report higher test score averages across all admitted students. This helps in maintaining their reputation.

  2. The majority of students take the SAT at least twice

    3. Colleges are aware that many students take the SAT twice or more in order to prepare for college admissions. Research shows that students improve in at least one section when they retake the test.

  3. A single test result is not a reliable measure of your academic potential.

    4. There are a lot of factors that influence your test performance—your level of preparation, your sleeping and eating schedule before the test, and any personal issues that may affect your concentration on the test.

Why do some colleges not accept SAT superscore?

For superscoring, students need to take multiple tests and send in their best scores. This comes as an addition to the already high cost of college applications. Hence, some colleges decide not to superscore to reduce the financial burden on students. Moreover, submitting SAT scores is optional for some colleges, so superscoring is also not taken into consideration.
