A quick question about score choice

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Say I have a score of (this is entirely theoretical)</p>

<p>test 1: CR 650 M 800 W 700
test 2: CR 750 M 790 W 750 </p>

<p>(10 point decrease in M but big rise in both CR and W)</p>

<p>if i am applying to schools like Harvard which considers only the BEST SCORES FOR EACH SECTION, is it possible, and if it is, worth it, to send only test 2? The way I understand it is, when you choose to do score choice and select the option of sending the best scores per section, these two tests would be highlighted. Do you NEED to send both?</p>

<p>Although sending both tests would raise the superscore by 10, I would feel more comfortable displaying only the second test, and would easily disregard the 10 point difference. It would officially decrease the superscore by 10 but I think it would give a better impression if i only sent the second one.</p>

<p>any opinions on this?</p>

<p>these are not my real scores so base your opinion solely on the background and not the scores</p>

<p>Send both; colleges aren’t lying when they say they look at the best scores.</p>

<p>The computer usually superscores automatically, or else they are highlighted. The superscores usually go to calculate your Academic Index and this will be used as points towards your admission decision.</p>
