SAT Advice Pleaseee

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took the SATs once so far and got the following scores:</p>

<p>CR - 580
M - 720
W - 720</p>

<p>Questions:

  1. If I take it again and all my scores go down, is that detrimental to my chances to applying to schools?
  2. Do they like seeing a single SAT score?</p>

<p>Any help is much appreciated!!</p>

<p>No, most schools superscore.
So best score from each section.</p>

<p>Check with your school to see if it superscores.</p>

<p>When you’re studying for your retake, don’t just do CR…prep for all sections. If you only focus on one section, your other scores <em>could</em> go down. Happens all the time.</p>

<p>Prep well and go in confidently. </p>

<p>And yes, most schools superscore.</p>

<p>For SAT’s you generally have two groups of colleges, those that use the highest subscores from multiple tests to determine admission (which many refer to as super-scoring) and those (which includes most public universities) that use that test with the highest composite score. So either way you do not lose by a lower second score and they don’t consider the fact that second test was lower against you.</p>
