SAT考完了,最终的目的当然是向自己向往的大学汇报战果,递交成绩。SAT新手们需要注意的是,College Board有一项Score choice送分政策。通过此项政策考生可以选择要寄送的成绩日期和单独的某一项SAT II成绩。然而,不同的学校对于Score choice的政策也不同。
送分大体有三种形式:
1)Superscore, 俗称“拼分”。可以把不是同一次考的单项(math, critical reading, writing)最好成绩作为SAT的总成绩。Super Score是一些大学AO用于Evaluate Applicant的方法。
2)Highest single sitting,可以挑最好的一次送,但必须是同一天考的。
3)All scores,全送,不能挑。很多常春藤学校要求送all scores,但他们只在所有考试中选最好的那一次。如普林斯顿的官方网站:
Applicants are welcome to use the score choice option for standardized test score submission. Princeton will consider the highest individual section results across all sittings of the SAT Reasoning and the highest composite score for the ACT with Writing, as well as the two highest SAT Subject Test scores. We encourage applicants to submit all official test scores as soon as they are available.
