<p>@zeppelins I am in the same boat as you. First time I ever took it, Omitted 3 and missed a grid in so I’m -4 for math.
According to College Panda we should get a score around 720, but everybody was saying this test will have a harsh curve so I’m going to guess 700.</p>
<p>@Woandering I probably shouldn’t have said completely blind. But if I was in the class of 2017 or 2018 I would probably just try to do good on the ACT and maybe an SAT Subject Test.</p>
<p>@RHSclassof16
Yeah, I definitely agree with you. </p>
<p>@swimguy1234 I put that too. That was also my reasoning behind it.</p>

<p>Did the passage actually mention the word ‘traditional’? If so, you may be right. However, I don’t recall seeing that, and then it would be fundamentally wrongheaded. It may well be traditional for executives to follow the formula, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. </p>
<p>Can anyone recall the actual question?</p>
<p>What do you guys think -4, -5, or -6 would be on CR?</p>
<p>What is the recurring reputation for the January SAT?</p>
<p>@fireonice, I got 3 wrong, 4 omitted on the November SAT’s CR and got a 700. No clue what it will be for this one, though.</p>
<p>@albert69 that seems like a pretty good curve right? Was it harder or easier than the December?</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t know - I didn’t take the December test. It seemed easier than the May test. </p>
<p>That’s ok thanks anyway!</p>

<p>i set a countdown timer on my phone loool</p>
<p>Most schools even if they want to see all of your scores focus on your super score (as opposed to your composite) anyway right? So if you score mostly in 2200s but have a 2300+ super score there would be no need to retake right? (Theoretical situation)</p>
<p>@fireonice </p>
<p>Many, not most, schools will do super score. Most top schools will look at you based on all your scores, not a superscore.</p>
<p>@Woandering Well I’ve looked at top schools’ websites and it seems that nearly all of them consider your “best scores” on each subsection of the SAT, even if they want to see your whole testing history. But I guess it is important to have high composite score(s) too.</p>
<p>@fireonice
Which ones did you look up? </p>
<p>Harvard allows score choice and just looks at one composite score. Same story with Princeton, MIT, Brown, Dartmouth, JHU, UChicago, and a bunch of others. Unless you were going to avoid all of these top universities, then you can just need a good super score. If you even use one of these colleges, you’ll need a relatively good composite.</p>
<p>Also, Yale requires all scores but looks at them all.</p>
<p>Harvard: “If I take the required tests more than once, which results does Harvard consider?
We consider your best test scores, but it is generally our experience that taking tests more than twice offers diminishing returns.”</p>
<p>Princeton: “Applicants are welcome to use the score choice option for standardized test score submission. Princeton will consider the highest individual section results across all sittings of the SAT Reasoning and the highest composite score for the ACT with Writing, as well as the two highest SAT Subject Test scores. We encourage applicants to submit all official test scores as soon as they are available.”</p>
<p>Dartmouth: “SAT Reasoning or ACT (with Writing)
If you submit both, we will look at your highest equivalent score. For the SAT, we take the highest section scores from any of your test dates. For ACT, we take your highest single composite score.”</p>
<p>Yale: “An applicant’s testing history provides useful contextual information to the admissions committee. With a full testing history, the committee is able to look at a student’s highest officially reported score on each section of the SAT, the highest individual SAT Subject Tests, and/or the highest ACT Plus Writing composite score.”</p>
<p>I’m not gonna bother with anymore. I don’t want to say the composite is unimportant, but I think the super score seems to be more important (in general).</p>
<p>@fireonice </p>
<p>Eh, looks like I didn’t look into them fully, except for Harvard. They won’t take the best sections. Honestly, I feel like this ‘policy’ is their way of convincing you to give them all your scores. I’ve found no one with experience that believes the super score is more important than a composite.</p>
<p>It also makes no sense. If you’re looking at two otherwise exactly the same people (obviously impossible, but hypothetically), the guy with a 2200 then a 2300 is gonna beat the guy with a 2250 twice, but a 2300 with superscore. The first guy ACTUALLY managed to achieve the 2300 in one sitting, with all of the pressure and boringness at once. </p>
<p>@Woandering I’m not gonna say I know what college admissions officers are thinking. But I think that they generally want to see you in your best light possible, what you’re capable of achieving. Of course, a 2300 single sitting is obviosly better than a 2300 super score. But I don’t think these colleges are really “lying” on their websites.</p>
