What do most firms on the street think about superscoring standardized testing on a resume? Should I list my highest composite score or highest superscore?
Do firms request official score reports after the extension of an offer?

They won't request your scores. Superscoring seems to be completely fair game, I would definitely do it.
SAT is just another metric to cull a large number of applicants banks get for positions, a good score will just up your chances of getting past the resume screen and will never determine an offer.
I did. Nobody ever asked.
Yes definitely for SAT/ACT, superscoring is fair game at the vast majority of colleges. Only exception would be grad schools tests like GMAT/GRE where superscore is not a standard metric
Damn I could have been showing a much better score if this is the case
Did not put my high school SAT or ACT scores on my resume and not a single firm I applied to asked for them
