[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For many students, multiple times at the same test with superscoring make them look smarter than they are. Just the truth.[/quote] How? They are earning each of the scores. [/quote] It takes a bit of courage to be willing to "tank" one of your scores, but literally you just have to report your two best scores. By courage, most kids have their own standards and even though they know one of their section scores is irrelevant...it's still hard to know you received a low score. In the extreme, there is no downside to getting a 1200 on one sitting (800Math/400 verbal) and a 1200 on the next sitting (400Math/800verbal) and reporting a 1600. You are not lying at all by saying you have a superscored 1600. It is fairly rare for anyone to have such extremes, but kids definitely may score very high on one section on their first sitting, and then do nothing but prep for the other section on their next sitting.[/quote]
