<p>I totally guessed EVERY SINGLE QUESTION for second math section, because I had a really bad stomachache and couldn’t go to the bathroom… lol
After that section, I went to the bathroom, and came back.
I got a cram again for the last math section and yeah, didn’t do half of them!!
this was my second SAT, and my first SAT math score was 780.
I think i’ll get around 500 on math this time!!!
would colleges be suspicious and reject me because of my extrmely low math score?</p>
<p>why did u retake? 780 what else do u want dude.</p>
<p>i retook it, because of my CR score.
of course I was satisfied with my math score.
I didn’t cancel it, because I did really well on CR…
do you think it was a mistake not to cancel it?</p>
<p>that sucks, i had a stomach ache too but luckily it went away gradually.</p>
<p>You’ll probably be investigated for cheating, I’m guessing. They’ll become suspicious of the disparity between the scores.</p>
<p>What if my sat II math score was 800 too, and I’ve been getting As in my math class (Calculus B and Stat)?
Would I still be suspected? @#%#&# i’m really screwed !</p>
<p>500 is too low dude for 780 guy. anyway good luck</p>
<p>Don’t worry. Most colleges take the best scores from each sitting, forming a “superscore”. They’ll probably just ignore your 500, take your 780, and add it to your best verbal and writing scores. </p>
<p>You could always write the colleges a letter saying you had diarrhea.</p>
<p>they’ll probably assume you intentionally weren’t doing anything on the math section trying to improve CR… if the CR actually goes up that is.</p>
<p>dude i feel ur pain. may SAT II lit test… i held in my pee for 1 and a half hours while possibly doing the worst hour long SAT II test there could be… lit. I failed horribly, 480 :(</p>
<p>Just CANCEL. Really. If it’s going to be 500, CANCEL before it’s too late.</p>
<p>Does it really matter? They superscore, anyway.</p>
<p>They superscore, but don’t most colleges still look at all of the scores? If you don’t cancel, you should probably write a letter to the colleges or something because that may look suspicious.</p>
<p>Colleges will superscore, and the fact you already had a 780, they might think you just filled in bubbles not caring about math, as you already owned it.</p>
<p>DON’T CANCEL, (most) COLLEGES AREN’T STUPID.</p>
<p>did you ever think of just telling the truth and explaining it to CB or colleges if anyone asks? Just tell them what happened…they should be pretty understanding.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. For a couple reasons.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The way that admissions offices work, the people who make the decisions do not see your individual score reports, which say when, and how often you took the test. These numbers are compiled onto a card by an intern, and only the highest scores are put on that card. If you took the SAT 6 times, they wouldn’t neccesarily know, but that piece of paper is in the file. In other words, the test score data that they look at for you has already been superscored by someone else.</p></li>
<li><p>Even if they do see it, If you got a 780, and then a 500, they will probably assume that you were off by one bubble going down the line (happens to a lot of people) and just disregard it anyway. The 780 is what’s important, they know that flukes don’t lead to 780’s, flukes can lead to dramatically lower scores though.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Your success on Math2C, and other tests, as well as your high math GPA and demonstrated math skills will also eliminate any suspicion that you cheated (which someone mentioned before), and theres a better chance than not that they will NEVER KNOW about the 500.</p>
<p>Don’t cancel. Plenty are aware of people who slack off on sections they already scored highly on before in order to focus on another section. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>haha yeah i agree they will be like wth from a 780 to a 500…good luck with that dude</p>
<p>brassmonkey makes a good point - it could have been a bubbling error. I wouldn’t bother canceling if you feel you achieved the good CR score you were hoping for. If any colleges DO ask for an explanation, you could tell them you weren’t feeling well that day, and while you were able to concentrate on the more important CR sections, you couldn’t maintain the same level of concentration for the other sections that you’d already done well on in the past.</p>
