[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
Sitting 1: 32, due to low English section. 
---->Learned comma rules, etc. 
Sitting 2: 34,

Superscore: 35

Worth taking again to get a single sitting 35?

Do schools care?[/quote]

i always thought single sitting is the 'first' sitting - one and only.[/quote]

sure, but a college will never know if your "single sitting" was actually on try 5. 
Even the Presidential Scholars program will not know (or care) about this.

WRONG!  You have to report a TOTAL COMPOSITE FROM ONE SINGLE SITTING---even if you provide highest subscores with test dates.  You can't provide the COMMON APP a superscored Composite score.

You report from a single siting:
Highest Composite (from one single test date)
Highest Verbal (with date)
Highest Reading (with date)
Highest Math (with date)
Highest Science (with date)
^if those 4 different dates make a higher composite--you can't report that under 'highest composite'--not on common app, or for UVA and other schools.

The schools will receive a 'superscore' report if you send it which will have all the scores from any test you used to generate a 'composite' and it will have a superscore composite on it.[/quote]
