Low scores will be replaced by higher subsequent scores. It will be as if the lower scores never existed. Admissions will not go back and use a previous low score against you. And remember Superscoring - even if your overall score is lower, one section may be higher than the score on the same section of a subsequent test.Does it make sense to report scores that are lower then desired and update as the scores improve or wait until the best score is achieved? I was thinking seeing improvements might be beneficial? Thanks!
Ok thanks. My oldest DD started adding her scores around 1100. Took it 4 more times and only got to 1200. Got accepted with that and was just thinking was that because she showed perseverance? Thought maybe we’d try it again with the younger DD.Low scores will be replaced by higher subsequent scores. It will be as if the lower scores never existed.

The only time you should consider not reporting scores is if every section is lower than previously submitted scores for the same type of test (SAT/ACT).
May I ask if your DD is a recruited athlete or if you are from a small congressional district? My DS had a 1310 and was told it needed to be higher so he took it again, (and again).Ok thanks.

Not a recruited athlete. Northern California so pretty competitive out here. She was told her leadership was a strong factor. Goes to show they really do look at the whole person.May I ask if your DD is a recruited athlete or if you are from a small congressional district?

Thank you for sharing. That is so interesting .... I've heard people say how the WCS score is calculated is a mystery and this proves it's impossible to figure out completely.Not a recruited athlete.

The WCS score is not a total mystery. Only admissions knows the exact tabulation during a given year, but available information does provide good insight:Thank you for sharing.
