[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son took each of these tests without a great deal of prep. He did well but would like to do better. Do schools in essence penalize for presenting more than one score for each test?[/quote] I don't think so. Some will super score (mix and match the best scores on the different sections from multiple test-taking sessions) and others won't. Keep in mind that what the schools mostly want to do is highlight that both admitted students and the students who ultimately decide to attend their schools have high scores, which makes them appear more selective. And, there are definitely kids who take the SAT multiple times with little variation and then shoot up a couple of hundred points the last time they take the test. [/quote]
