SAT Superscore Calculator

Colleges that superscore take your highest Reading & Writing score and your highest Math score from different test dates and combine them into a new total — usually higher than any single sitting.

Many do — including most large state universities and many selective private schools. Policies differ (superscore, highest single sitting, or “all scores”), so always check each college’s testing policy page for the current cycle.

No — score reports list each test date separately. The college computes the superscore itself. Using Score Choice you decide which dates to send; send every date that contains one of your best sections.

Often yes: you can focus preparation on one section, since only your best section scores survive. A retake can never lower a superscore — a worse sitting simply gets ignored by superscoring colleges.

Most colleges treat digital SAT scores as directly comparable to old paper scores and superscore within the same version. Mixing paper-era and digital-era sections is up to each college — many limit superscoring to the same format.
