I need help understanding why some schools don’t consider the writing part on the sat score.

During the month of April and June I took my sat … Although the second time around my score improved… And I was happy

My test reads
500 reading
480 Math
530 Writing
Essay 8

Does this make my score 1500
Or do I consider the reading and math score combined?

I am lost Help

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

My current GPA 3.6
