[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest is a junior so only recently started taking SAT/ACT. Before we had or own first hand experience, we used to hear everyone got 1560-1590 in their SAT. After the first couple tries, all the so called smart kids at our school only got 1420-1480. Is the scoring tougher now or were people always exaggerating? [/quote]

Those kids with 1420-1480 will super score a 1500+ after a few tries. Many of my sons friends have 1500+ but it’s their super score. 
That said, this is a small group at a tough private school. It’s not common. Except on DCUM. [/quote]

I wish my DD could take her two 1420s and superscore. But she had a 740/680 and then a 720/700.  So a superscore of 1440.  She won't take it again because the universe is telling her 1420 is the score she is supposed to have. And her top school doesn't actually superscore and will see her two 1420s.  Her practice tests scores were all over the place, so I don't think this was a tell for what score she should have expected. [/quote]

Where is there a college that does not superscore?  Even MIT and Georgetown, which want all scores, say they consider the highest in each section.[/quote]
