SAT Superscore Calculator
Combine your best EBRW and best Math across sittings into one superscore.
Highest EBRW plus highest Math across every sitting.
A superscore is always greater than or equal to any single-day total, because it keeps your best section from each date. Not every college superscores — check each school’s policy.
A SAT superscore combines your highest Evidence-Based Reading & Writing (EBRW) score and your highest Math score across every test date. Score 650 EBRW / 700 Math on one sitting and 680 / 660 on another, and your superscore is 680 + 700 = 1380 — higher than either single-day total (1350 and 1340), since it keeps your best section from each date.
What SAT superscoring is
The SAT has two sections — Evidence-Based Reading & Writing (EBRW) and Math — each scored from 200 to 800, for a combined total of 400 to 1600. If you sit the test more than once, a superscore takes your single highest EBRW from any date and your single highest Math from any date, then adds those two bests together.
Because it mixes your strongest sections from different dates, a superscore is always at least as high as your best single-day total, and usually higher. It rewards a student who peaked in Math on one date and in reading on another.
How the calculation works
Enter each sitting’s EBRW and Math. The tool scans every date, picks the top EBRW and the top Math independently, and sums them. It also shows which sitting each best came from and your best complete single-day total for comparison.
- 1 List every sitting. Write down the EBRW and Math score from each SAT date, each between 200 and 800.
- 2 Find your highest EBRW. Across 650 and 680, the best EBRW is 680 — from the second sitting.
- 3 Find your highest Math. Across 700 and 660, the best Math is 700 — from the first sitting.
- 4 Add the two bests. 680 + 700 = 1380. That is your superscore, out of 1600.
- 5 Compare to a single day. The best single-day total here is 1350, so superscoring adds 30 points.
Worked example — two sittings
Superscore takes the highest EBRW (680) and the highest Math (700) → 1380, above either single-day total.
| Sitting | EBRW | Math | Single-day total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sitting 1 | 650 | 700 | 1350 |
| Sitting 2 | 680 | 660 | 1340 |
| Best of each | 680 | 700 | — |
| Superscore | — | — | 1380 |
Does your college actually use it?
Not every college superscores the SAT — policies vary widely. Some recalculate a superscore for you automatically, some ask you to send all scores and do it themselves, some consider only your single highest sitting, and a few require every score you have ever earned. Always check each school’s testing policy before assuming your superscore is what they will read.
A superscore is a planning number, not an official report: the College Board sends section scores by date, and the college applies its own rule. Because superscoring keeps your best section from each date, your superscore will always be greater than or equal to any single-day total — never lower.
