Yes, they will! I attended the Summer Seminar this summer and they made it clear that USNA will superscore the old & new SAT scores but will not superscore the CFA.
They allow you to super score between the ACT and the SAT so I would not find it surprising that they would super score old & new SAT. This is the only college I know of that will super score between tests. (ACT & SAT)
Are you referring to USNA ? If so, where did you see this info ? Thanks.This is the only college I know of that will super score between tests. (ACT & SAT)
If this is the case, DS would be very happy to learn he has maxed out.admissions confirmed it
They will convert all scores into a scaled SAT score, report the highest, average, and number of times taken on the candidate's packet. .
I love learning new stuff...again, thanks for being persistent with me.
@Brave ,
Good stuff Brave.
...After further review, here's what I learned from USNA Admissions:
They will convert all scores into a scaled SAT score, report the highest, average, and number of times taken on the candidate's packet. So, technically they are superscoring in the sense they are using conversion charts, old SAT will be converted, and ACT will be converted to a single scaled SAT score. Thus, they are only looking at one number for math and one number for English. So, I conclude you are correct and I am misspoken.
In terms of the traditional definition of superscore, what I maintained is still correct...technically, and after speaking with CollegeBoard, they are unaware of anyone who would be combining scores in the traditional sense of what superscoring means. They are also unaware of anyone who converts to a scaled score like USNA, but as they told me, it's any school's prerogative to do whatever they want with the information.
At the end of the day, there's enough right for everyone to have a piece....albeit some pieces are bigger than others.
My advice always has been and always will be to take both exams, there's even more of an incentive for USNA.
In the interest of research, I contacted USAFA and USMA admissions, and they do NOT covert to a single score. They do things the traditional way.

The tidbit about the avg and number of times taken is a big one in my opinion and this if often overlooked.
DS has always waited and paid the extra $$ to send the scores once he sees them and deems them something he wants admissions to see. Others have said that take it as many times and use the free score reports. The above quote would indicate that is a bad idea. If they are looking at the avg, its a really bad idea to blindly send them every report.
Wow. I had always suspected that while having a grocery list of scores on your portal shows determination, a candidate could be supplying info that could actually be a detriment to their file.
