<p>If I took the SAT again and my overall score went down, would that reflect negatively toward colleges I apply to?</p>

<p>The reason I’m asking is because I think I really did my best on math and reading with 760 in each, but I did relatively poorly in reading with a 650. I know if I retake I can get my reading up, but I’m not sure if my math and reading will change at all and I fear they may go down.</p>

<p>If a college says they take the composite score, do single-sitting scores have any bearing on their decision?</p>

<p>The really could care less about single sittings if they say the take the best composites–all they do is glance at the highest, add them, and it’s done. Many students stress a lot over things like superscores considering how quickly they end up being calculated in the admissions office.</p>

<p>College A takes the highest scores.</p>

<p>800 CR 700 M 750 W
700 CR 800 M 710 W
700 CR 700 M 780 W</p>

<p>800 + 800 + 780 = 2380, and it’s all done.</p>
