If you <em>do<\/em> decide to take the SAT or ACT and want to submit your scores, you need to understand terms like &#8220;superscoring&#8221; and &#8220;Score Choice.&#8221; Knowing the different <strong>college test score policies<\/strong> helps you decide when and how to <strong>submit test scores<\/strong> strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Changing Landscape: Test Optional and Test Blind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, remember that many colleges are now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Test-Optional:<\/strong> You can choose whether or not to submit your SAT\/ACT scores. Your application will be reviewed fairly either way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Test-Blind\/Test-Free:<\/strong> These colleges will <em>not<\/em> consider test scores at all, even if you send them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always check the specific policy for each college on your list! If a school is test-blind, there&#8217;s no decision to make \u2013 don&#8217;t send scores. If it&#8217;s test-optional, the strategies below become relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Different College Test Score Policies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a college <em>does<\/em> accept scores (either required or optional), they usually handle multiple test dates in one of these ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Highest Single Test Date:<\/strong> They consider your single best overall score from one specific test administration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Superscoring:<\/strong> They take your highest section scores from <em>across<\/em> different test dates and combine them to create a new, higher composite score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Highest Section Scores:<\/strong> Similar to superscoring, they consider your best section scores but might not calculate a new composite score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Require All Scores:<\/strong> Some (fewer now) colleges require you to send scores from <em>all<\/em> your SAT or ACT attempts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing a college&#8217;s policy is crucial for your strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Superscoring? (Your Best Section Scores)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Superscoring is generally good news for students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How it works (SAT):<\/strong> A college takes your best Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score and your best Math score from all your SAT test dates and combines them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How it works (ACT):<\/strong> A college takes your best English, Math, Reading, and Science section scores from all your ACT test dates and averages them for a new (often higher) composite <strong>superscore ACT<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many colleges superscore, allowing you to showcase your peak performance in each area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Score Choice? (Choosing Which Tests to Send)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Score Choice is a feature offered by the College Board (SAT) and ACT that lets <em>you<\/em> decide which test date results to send to colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>SAT:<\/strong> With <strong>Score Choice SAT<\/strong>, you can pick specific test dates to send. If a college superscores or only considers your highest single date, Score Choice allows you to send only the dates with your best scores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ACT:<\/strong> ACT also allows you to choose which test dates to send.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important Note:<\/strong> If a college <em>requires<\/em> you to submit all scores, you should not use Score Choice to withhold scores from them. Always follow the college&#8217;s stated policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategic Decisions: When Should You Submit Test Scores?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the big question for test-optional schools. Consider submitting scores if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your scores are at or above the average range for admitted students at that specific college (check their admissions website or Common Data Set).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your scores strengthen your application, perhaps balancing out a slightly lower GPA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your scores are required for specific scholarships or programs (even at test-optional schools).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider <em>not<\/em> submitting scores if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your scores are significantly below the college&#8217;s average range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You feel other parts of your application (GPA, rigor, essays, activities) are much stronger and better represent your abilities. This is a common <strong>test optional strategy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no single right answer; it depends on your scores, the college&#8217;s profile, and the rest of your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83c\udfaf Want to boost your application\u2019s impact\u2014test scores or not?
