[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but I am curious. I know we don't know what exactly admissions considers, but should they consider the number of attempts and super scoring? I do feel that scoring well on both sections when taking for the first time (rather than well in attempt 3 on verbal and well in attempt 4 on math) is a meaningful metric. Why would it not be? [/quote] Because students take the test at different times. Students tend to score higher the later they take the test, as it purports to measure academic skills that increase over time with more school experience. The number of times one takes a measurement isn't relevant. With one exception (Georgetown), colleges do not require all scores to be reported. Colleges have no idea how many attempts a student has made.[/quote]
