SAT Superscore Calculator

An SAT superscore is the total you get by taking your highest EBRW (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing) section score and your highest Math section score across all of your test dates, then adding them. The two bests can come from different sittings. Because each section is scored from 200 to 800, the superscore lands on the same 400 to 1600 scale as a single test.

Take the best EBRW you earned on any date and the best Math you earned on any date, then add them: superscore equals best EBRW plus best Math. Unlike the ACT, there is no averaging, since the SAT total is just the sum of two section scores. For example, a 660 EBRW from your second sitting and a 690 Math from your third gives a 1350 superscore.

Many do, but it is a per-college policy, not a College Board guarantee. A large share of selective universities superscore the SAT, while some schools and a few public systems use your single highest sitting instead. Always confirm the current policy on each school's admissions page before you rely on a superscore.

Your superscore pulls the top EBRW and the top Math even when they came from different dates, so it can exceed any one sitting's total. The calculator shows the gap as a superscore boost: the superscore minus your best single-sitting total. If one date happens to hold both section highs, the boost is zero and the superscore equals that sitting.

The digital SAT reports two section scores: EBRW, which combines Reading and Writing into one number, and Math. Each ranges from 200 to 800 in steps of 10, and the total ranges from 400 to 1600. Enter scores exactly as the College Board reports them, since off-grid values like 645 are not valid SAT section scores.

There is no official cap, and this calculator accepts 2 to 6 sittings, which covers the realistic range of retakes. More attempts give each section more chances to peak, but score gains usually shrink after a few tries. Weigh another retake against time spent on essays, recommendations, and course rigor, which often matter more to admissions.
