[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applied to college in 1997 and I superscored. I took the SAT twice and my higher math score and higher verbal score were from different dates.

We were intending for our daughter to superscore. She took the test 3 times. But it just so happens that her highest scores both occurred on the same date. [/quote]

Super scoring is new,,only a few years old.[/quote]
DP. Superscoring is not new. Realize that there are people in these forums who have been around college admissions a lot longer than you.[/quote]

From what I'm gathering, up until fairly recently, much of the country was unfamiliar with the college admissions process and just took a basic approach: take the SAT once and only apply to a few schools. But, even decades ago, there were areas of the country that took the whole college application process way more seriously and took the SAT multiple times, did test prep, know about "super scoring" (even though it wasn't called that then), applied to a bunch of colleges, etc.

Some of us didn’t NEED to do the test prep or know about super scoring or take the test multiple times.  Sorry you’re stupid, and that your hard-won super score didn’t translate to an actual increase in intelligence, which is why your kids are now having the same problem.[/quote]

OK, you sound very smart. I'll go let my HS buddies (who all went T20) know that we're stupid. :lol:  :lol:
