What is Superscore?

It is a process in which colleges consider the candidate’s highest section scores across all of the SAT exams that the candidate has taken rather than the scores of a single date. It means that colleges take the candidate’s highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Mathematics scores and combine them to determine the overall score.

How to Cancel SAT Scores?

If you need to cancel your SAT score for any reason, here are two options to do so:

If you are unsure about how the test went, or if you believe you skipped a number of questions, you can cancel your test right there and then. At that point, you can ask the test centre supervisor for a ‘Request to Cancel Test Scores’ form. Fill out all of the details and sign. Send the form to your supervisor. Please submit this before leaving the testing centre.

If your bad performance continues after you leave the testing facility, you can cancel your exam at home as well. There is, however, a time limit. You must submit your cancellation request to College Board as soon as possible because the deadline for receiving such requests is 11:59 PM (IST) on the Wednesday following the test date. You must fill out a ‘Request to Cancel Test Scores’ form online from the College Board website, sign it, and then fax it or speed-post/courier it overnight.
