average SAT jump between the 1st and 2nd sitting?

<p>1780 May 2007 -> 2000</p>

<p>1st time 2050
2nd time 2060</p>

<p>Kinda pathetic, I know. Reading stayed at 630, math went down from a 700 to a 660, and writing went up from a 720 to a 770.</p>

<p>I wish colleges paid more attention to the writing section.</p>

<p>S went from 2030 to 2180. Biggest gain was 90 points in math; CR went up 50 points and writing up 10 points (though his first essay got an 11 and his second a 7). He was a year older and had learned algebra and had some geometry by the time of the second test; I think that account for the increase in score.</p>

<p>hilsa: they don't, but they do superscore.</p>
