Scoremojo editorial teamKey takeaways
- Egypt's 2025/26 Council rule allows Matching Super inside one exam — SAT with SAT, ACT with ACT, EST with EST — and limits ordinary matching to a single exam's result. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
- Tansik's 2026 public page says it uses the highest scores from all attempts sent to code 7437, but it does not publish a section-by-section combining rule. [2026 · public]
- The EST organiser says it does not issue one combined report: students order reports for each trial and the university applies superscoring at its discretion. [EST · 2026]
- No official page we read says SAT and EST sections can be combined across exams. Treat cross-exam super-scoring as not permitted unless the receiving university confirms it in writing. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
What does super-scoring mean?
Super-scoring means a university uses results from more than one sitting of the same exam together when it evaluates your application, instead of reading only one sitting's report. [EST · 2026] It is an admission policy, not a single combined score report issued by the test maker: the EST FAQ says it does not issue one report that combines scores from different trials. [EST · 2026]
The Council of Private and National Universities uses the term Matching Super. In its 2025/26 foreign-certificate rules, ordinary matching is limited to inside the result of a single exam only, and Matching Super is allowed for the subject results of SAT, ACT or EST (levels 1 and 2) when the aggregate is calculated. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
Does Egypt allow super-scoring for the American Diploma?
Yes, but only inside one exam, and the rule we found is from 2025/26. The Council text permits Matching Super inside one exam when the student's aggregate is calculated. [2025/26 · private/national] It is the only dated Egyptian rule we found that names Matching Super; the page is flagged expired on the Council site and no 2026/27 replacement was found. [This page · 31 Oct 2026]
For public universities, Tansik's 2026 page says it uses the highest scores from all attempts that reach code 7437 from the test organiser. [2026 · public] That is a best-score rule for the SAT pipeline; the page does not say it combines section scores from different sittings.
| Question | What the dated pages say | Cycle and sector |
|---|---|---|
| Is there a super-score rule? | Yes, called Matching Super, inside one exam | [2025/26 · private/national]; Not confirmed for 2026/27 |
| Does Tansik use more than one attempt? | Yes: highest scores from all attempts received at code 7437 | [2026 · public] |
| Does Tansik publish section-level combining? | No section-by-section rule on the page read | [2026 · public] |
| Does the EST issue a combined report? | No: separate trial reports; the university applies superscoring at its discretion | [EST · 2026] |
Can SAT and EST section scores be combined?
No published Egyptian rule permits it. The 2025/26 Council text limits matching to a single exam type — SAT, ACT or EST — and does not create a mixed SAT-plus-EST result. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
The delivery routes are separate. SAT scores must arrive at Tansik code 7437 from the College Board account; EST reports for Egyptian universities are printed and sent to the Ministry of Education for certification. [2026 · public] [EST · 2026] A student who wants both considered should ask the receiving university, in writing, whether it will read two reports together. [Unverified]
How does multi-trial scoring work within one exam?
Within SAT, Tansik says it uses the highest scores from all attempts it receives from the test organiser at code 7437, and that only one College Board account counts per student. [2026 · public]
Within EST, the organiser says matching is applicable, but it does not issue one combined report. Students order the certified reports for the trials they want and submit them; the university then applies superscoring at its discretion. [EST · 2026] An EST I score report can include up to three EST I rounds. [EST · 2026]
Within the 2025/26 Council aggregate, the same idea is expressed as Matching Super for subject results inside SAT, ACT or EST. The aggregate gives 40% to the eight subjects and 60% to SAT I or its equivalent, so the test score is the larger single component. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
The practical limit: more attempts help only if the receiving university reads them together. Tansik's public page is the clearest evidence for the SAT route; the EST route depends on the university's own policy. [2026 · public] [EST · 2026]
What do private universities publish?
The four private universities we checked publish minimum scores, not a super-score policy. AUC's page dated 24 September 2026 evaluates the American Diploma on cumulative GPA (Grades 9–12) plus SAT I or ACT I, with a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and a 950 SAT I or 20 ACT composite for consideration; it does not publish a superscore rule. [AUC · 24 Sep 2026]
GUC's 2026/27 page requires eight subjects, accepts EST I or ACT I at 800 as a passing grade, and treats EST II or ACT II as a bonus; it does not publish a superscore rule. [GUC · 2026/27] MUC publishes 800 for SAT I or EST I, 14 for ACT I and 900 for SAT II, ACT II or EST II; it does not publish a superscore rule. [MUC · 2026] MIU accepts SAT-1, ACT 1 or EST 1 and treats SAT-II, ACT 2 or EST 2 as a bonus; it does not publish a superscore rule. [MIU · read 31 Oct 2026]
That is the level we can source: minimums and bonus rules are public; a section-combining policy is not. Ask the admission office to put its answer in writing, naming the sittings and sections. [Unverified]

What should a Grade 11 or 12 student do?

What is still unverified?
- Whether a 2026/27 Council statement repeats Matching Super. The page we read is dated 28 July 2025 and flagged expired. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
- Whether Tansik combines SAT section scores, rather than using a best total from all attempts. The 2026 page does not say. [2026 · public]
- Whether any Egyptian university combines SAT and EST sections. No dated page we read permits it. [Unverified]
- The exact section-level policy at AUC, GUC, MUC and MIU. Their pages publish minimums and bonuses, not a superscore rule. [AUC · 24 Sep 2026] [GUC · 2026/27] [MUC · 2026] [MIU · read 31 Oct 2026]

Questions students ask
Does Egypt superscore the SAT?
The 2025/26 Council text permits Matching Super inside one exam, and Tansik's 2026 page says it uses the highest scores from all attempts at code 7437. Neither page publishes a section-by-section SAT combining rule. [2025/26 · private/national] [2026 · public] Not confirmed for 2026/27.
Can I combine SAT and EST scores?
No dated Egyptian page we read permits it. The 2025/26 Council rule limits matching to one exam type. [2025/26 · private/national] Not confirmed for 2026/27 — ask the university in writing.
Does the EST issue a superscore report?
No. The EST FAQ says matching is applicable, but it does not issue a single report that combines different trials; you order the reports and the university applies superscoring at its discretion. [EST · 2026]
How many EST trials can a report include?
An EST I score report can include up to three EST I rounds. [EST · 2026]
Does Tansik use my best SAT attempt?
Yes. Tansik's 2026 page says it uses the highest scores from all attempts received from the test organiser at code 7437. [2026 · public]
Do private universities superscore?
The pages we read publish minimum scores and bonus rules, not a superscore policy. Ask the admission office to confirm in writing. [AUC · 24 Sep 2026] [GUC · 2026/27] [MUC · 2026] [MIU · read 31 Oct 2026]
What score do I need?
It depends on the sector. AUC publishes 950 on SAT I or 20 on the ACT; GUC publishes 800 on SAT I or EST I as a passing grade; MUC publishes 800 on SAT I or EST I and 900 across SAT II, ACT II or EST II. These are minimums for consideration, not a promise of admission. [AUC · 24 Sep 2026] [GUC · 2026/27] [MUC · 2026]
