What does “Superscore” mean?
What does “Superscore” mean?
“Superscoring” is fairly new but involves the admissions department taking different sections of either the SAT test or the ACT test and counting the best individual sections from each test while reviewing a student’s college application, rather than just looking at one individual test date’s score. It’s to a school’s advantage to super score because then it can report higher SAT scores of its admitted students to make the institution appear more exclusive.
