Superscore however, do raise the question of validity. The concern is that retakes could possibly be less credible than an original score and that students would be able to have some sort of leverage over the standardized test procedure and the testing process in general. However, specialists believe that not only could a retake indicate higher academic motivation but also, there is not a vast difference between the Superscore and the GPA and thus  “it is markedly clear that allowing a student to select the best score will not significantly jeopardize prediction of GPA” (Roszkowski, Spreat, 2016, P10 ); composite scores seem to render better results.

It seems as though benefits outweigh the drawbacks in terms of Superscore.  More universities have implemented this policy because research has shown that composite scores increase after a retake or two. It has been recognized that low motivation can pose a threat to validity. Being able to take standardized tests more than once eases the pressure off students and makes for better tests results in general.

The TECS (Test of English Communication Skills) items rotation would also assure that retakes would not increase their performance as the mere consequence of repetition itself. If the test taker has not increased the communication skills or has not studied or advanced in the mastery of the language, it would also be evident in the test results; and the Superscore would not show any different result than the previous tests.
