Generally speaking, the date goes in with the components of the superscore. So schools can tell when the highest sections are on different test administrations. (If they want to)

Is it? I hope so. Superscoring is just more evidence of the dumbing down of expectations.
Superscoring has been around for decades. I graduated high school in 1993 and there was superscoring.
Interesting. I graduated in 1989 and never heard of it until recently.
It existed in the 80s. The schools like it as much as the kids because it inflates their numbers as well.
