Lop-Sided SAT Scores

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi, I have taken the SAT three times, and my section scores are a little lop-sided. In CR, my scores have been 600, 600, 650. In Writing, my scores were 660, 770, 740. In Math, my scores were 710, 800, 790. My super score, 2220, shows that I am heavily weighted toward Math and Writing, but I am concerned about my Reading score. I’ve heard a lot of schools only look at M+CR, which is kind of unnerving. I plan to apply to schools including Cornell and Northwestern; will my Reading score be an issue? Thanks.</p>

<p>I hate my scores.
CR-760
W-600
M- 500
those were sophomore year, though, maybe I’m older and wiser.</p>

Most schools superscore the SAT / ACT.</p>

<p>So you have a very good CR score.</p>
