Guessing best single sitting is 1440 and super score is 1480? Although, if kid is only a junior, there’s still lots of time to try to for higher.

Correct, another attempt in March. Just trying to understand what the threshold is for PWC schools.

Your school likely has this data available if they have Naviance, School Links, etc. it’s better if you look at the stats kids had from your school

Your kid is a junior. My 4 kids all got their highest score September of 12th. Have him forget about tests now, but take it again in June or August and then in September/October. He will definitely score higher after 11th is over!

This.

Admissions offices will vary, but some care more about the applicant meeting a minimum / threshold PERCENTILE score on SAT or ACT, rather than focusing on either the raw score (out of 1600) or on having the very highest raw score.

The statistical difference between a SAT (contrived example) of X and X+100 might be really minor and not a big deal for admissions.

Submit 1480 superscore everywhere. It's better than applying test optional.

this is probably true with more students taking and reporting their scores.

Because of affirmative-action/ quotas, he already gets a boost in university admissions as a male.

Depends on school. UVA, for example has very similar admission rates for female vs male.
