<p>I Still havent received my scores. Its 7am EST and they are not up!!!
Gosh i am one of those “check back on June 3rd” people</p>
<p>I usually get 2100’s but I got a 1780 (I don’t know how).</p>
<p>Should I do a score verification ?</p>
<p>^ i think you should definitely verify your scores.</p>
<p>what should i do? when in took the SATs in march I got a 640 in cr, 630 in math and 780 in writing. In may i got 670 in cr, 680 in math and 720 in writing. should i send all of my scores to colleges? im afraid they will see the lower grades from march and not accept me.</p>
<p>I don’t think the lower grades will hurt your chances too much. Remember that these colleges love to superscore (combine the best scores from each section), so in your case the colleges will see the true SAT score as 670/680/780. With a total of 2150, you ARE in range for pretty much any school. Colleges use the SAT as a way to screen students in the first round; if you make the cut, then factors such as grades, essays, ec’s, etc. become much more important than SAT scores. </p>
<p>That said, I’ve also been told that colleges don’t like to see huge differences between the scores in each subsection. For example, I got an 800 on the Critical Reading and Writing sections, but a 650 on Math. So my question to the cc community is, with a composite score of 2250, will the 150 point difference between sections make me seem too unbalanced? Do colleges screen SAT scores based on section or overall composite score? If it’s true, then you are actually in better shape than I am firsttimeuser.</p>
<p>PMCM18 - If you are generally weak in Math in school also, your scores will reflect that but if you say you want to be a liberal arts major in college, people will ignore your math score. If you want to do engineering, you may want retake it.</p>
<p>The fact that no one on this website has gotten a 2400 yet surprises me greatly.</p>
<p>Shaggy007 (lol this name is made of win): Right?<br>
Texaspg: My goal is to go to a good liberal arts program, but I do get good grades in math class. Either way I’m hoping to make up for that 650 with a 680+ on the Math I SAT subject test.</p>
<p>thank you for your help PMCM18</p>
<p>I did pretty good on everything, but my essay was a 7?!?! :'(</p>
<p>PMCM18 - Are you sure you want to take Math I and not II? Math I curve is very similar to SAT I where a perfect score requires almost everything to be correct?
If you do well in Math at school, you should aim higher than 680 though.</p>
<p>I have never been sure that there is much different between SAT I math and Math I.</p>
<p>800 critical reading
740 math
750 writing (70 multiple choice + 11 essay)</p>
<p>overall 2290 - just 10 points off from 2300 :(</p>
<p>I’ve never gotten less than a 96% each quarter in math (I’m in AP Calc AB now), but I got a 610 in Math. For some of us, no matter how good we are at math in class, a lower score (like a 680) is something to aim for.</p>
<p>My Scores:</p>
<p>CR- 800 
Math- 760
Writing (MC 79, Essay 10)- 800 :D</p>
<p>Total: 2360 :)</p>
<p>I’m VERY HAPPY with this score since it is above my goal of a 2350! However, I am a little disappointed that I lost points in Math, which is surely my strongest subject; I consistently get 800s in Math on practice tests. Do you think I should retake or move on and focus on Subject Tests?</p>
<p>grammargirl94 - if you are able to get 96 in AP calc AB, you should be able to get over 700 in Math II. Math II has a much better curve (you can omit 8 out of 50 for an 800 or get 6 wrong).</p>
<p>Easy for me to say as a parent right? As my kid keeps telling me, tests are hard sometimes.</p>
<p>sweetpuri - forget it and move on unless you are worried about MIT or Caltech but you need Math subject test for them anyway.</p>
<p>^Focus on Subject Tests. After you reach 750+ in any given section, it doesn’t matter anymore. Focus on subject tests like Math 1 & 2 instead of the SAT 1 math.</p>
<p>(^That was towards Sweetpuri)</p>
<p>How different is Math Level I from Level II in terms of content? I took Honors Pre-calculus this year and had a solid A the whole time. Would the concepts covered in a pre-calc class suffice for Level II? A friend of mine that took the test claims that there were some calculus level questions.</p>
<p>^I would take Math Level II if I were you, especially if you kept an A in honors pre-calculus. The most difficult topics on the Math Level II exam involve trigonemetric functions, stuff from pre-calculus. Nothing comes from calculus. </p>
<p>No perfect scorers in May?</p>
<p>I understand precal is sufficient but you should try a test to see if you are comfortable. If you get a couple of questions in Calc and have an 8 point curve, then it should nt be an issue.</p>
<p>@ngirly: where does it say that the scores will come out on June 3rd?</p>
