Is this odd?

<p>So these are my two scores from April and May respectively.</p>

<p>April 590M 630R 730W(1950)</p>

<p>May 720M 670R 650W(2040)</p>

<p>So basically my best score in one sitting is a 2040 but my best composite score is a 2120. Also I’ve been told that most colleges do take the best composite as opposed to the best score from one sitting.</p>

<p>But should I be worried that there is such a large variation in the scores? Will this be viewed as inconsistent? Is this going to hurt me? Will colleges still take note of the 1950 and 2040 or will they only look at the 2120?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I had a larger variation
1940 to 2100 (not composite scores)!</p>

<p>haha </p>

<p>but seriously…I’m worried colleges will think I’m trying to take advantage of the composite score policy.</p>

<p>how will you be taking advantage of it? you cant control your scores…</p>

<p>By taking advantage I meant focusing on different sections in different sitting. So basically I’d try hard and do well in Math on one test, then completely forget about Math and try my best on verbal on another section.</p>

<p>im in a similar situation, except i am taking the SAT a second time on saturday
i got a 2060 1st time w/ a 720cr/w 620m
i dont intend on trying to improve my reading and writing scores
i just want to improve math
what should i do for the saturday test?
what would be a somewhat reasonable decline in my cr/wr scores that wont alert colleges?</p>
