What Is SAT Superscore?
SAT Superscore = Your highest RW + Highest Math from two attempts.
Formula:
Superscore = Max(RW Test 1, RW Test 2) + Max(Math Test 1, Math Test 2)
Example:
- Test 1: RW 700 + Math 650 = 1350
- Test 2: RW 650 + Math 750 = 1400
- Superscore: RW 700 (from Test 1) + Math 750 (from Test 2) = 1450
- Improvement: +100 points vs Test 1
So superscore is always equal or higher than your best single test.
SAT Superscore Example Table
| Test 1 | Test 2 | Superscore | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 680 + 720 = 1400 | 740 + 700 = 1440 | 740 + 720 = 1460 | +60 |
| 600 + 800 = 1400 | 750 + 600 = 1350 | 750 + 800 = 1550 | +150 |
| 700 + 650 = 1350 | 650 + 750 = 1400 | 700 + 750 = 1450 | +100 |
