Does college know that a student got a 1600 in a single sitting?

Only georgetown knows how many times you took the test. One of my kids got a 1580, single sitting on test #5.

Correct. The data is right there. Why do people keep suggesting AOs don’t know, wishful thinking?

Was 1580 a major improvement over your child's next highest score? My child would like to retest to get a 1580, but is very close and we're talking about a difference in one or two questions, so I'm wondering if it's work retaking to get there...

she went from about 1280 to 1380 to a few in the low 1500s to 1580.

Yes and they’ll definitely say “aha this 800 math is a different date than this 800 verbal, REJECTED.” 🙄

More like they’ll take note of a perfect score accomplished in a single sitting. Because that is in fact more impressive than super scoring.

That’s impressive! Congrats!

Kind of interesting because for MBA, AOs like to see a few attempts with improving scores. Is it the opposite for undergrad?

That’s a good thing, sure, but in any case a perfect score one and done stands out. A superscored perfect score is close behind, and still not that common, so probably makes appreciably little difference in the end.
