[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the breakdown in scores?  Nearly all schools super score, so if the scores are very lopsided (nearly 800 in one section), just focus entirely on the other section.[/quote]

770 in Math, 670 in English[/quote]

So, stop studying Math and focus entirely on English.  It literally doesn’t matter if after the next test, she score a 770 in English and a 500 in math…she will tell colleges she scored a 1540.[/quote]

Good luck, sincerely to the OP and their DC, but it’s nauseating that super scoring even exists. The fundamental unfairness of viewing one kid with a one-and-done 1600 the same as another kid who took six SAT administrations to cobble together a Frankenstein’d 1600 via super scoring … it’s ridiculous.

Annual petition to limit re-takes to one for valid medical reason with no super scoring …[/quote]

Multiple sittings are still more respectable than hiring someone or using ChatGPT to write essays, more respectable than parents-driven non-profits, more respectable than fake research. The kids are at least taking the tests *themselves*. What you are railing against isn't the biggest issue with unfairness or cheating in college applications.[/quote]
