[quote=Anonymous][quote] superscoring. I don’t know when colleges started allowing this but it brings up the ranges a lot. It sounds nice for students to be able to do this, but in reality I think it creates stress because students see the higher ranges and they feel the pressure to retake the test [/quote] It’s not super scoring, it’s the multiple retakes that drive up scores. Until recently over half only took it once, 90% took it twice, and 10% took it three or more times. But it is precisely the highly motivated kids who want to get into elite schools who will take it three or more times until they get the score they “need”, and they increasingly do that. Superscoring doesn’t do anything until you’ve taken it at least three times.[/quote]
