<p>I got a 590 in reading, 490 in math, and 500 in writing.</p>
<p>My overall score is 1580.</p>
<p>Will colleges care that my above average score in reading lifted my below average math and writing scores?</p>
<p>I want to go into something artistic or something to do with phycology maybe.</p>
<p>I imagine myself going to a state college I guess before going to graduate school. I know I am capable of a higher score but my life has been bad the last couple of years aha.</p>
<p>If anything, colleges MIGHT overlook a writing score, since some schools only consider your Critical Reading and Math scores. </p>
<p>There are no schools that would overlook your Math score for your slightly above average reading score. If you’re only a junior you should definitely consider studying for the SAT and taking it again. You should especially at least work on your math score to even it up a bit.</p>
<p>If you want to go into “something artistic,” math won’t be critical. But if you want to go into psychology, it will, so there are reasons beyond just a test score to raise your abilities.</p>
<p>Each college looks at things differently. They will see both your composite score and your individual scores. Luckily, you’re a junior, so you have time to raise your scores; there’s a lot of good advice here for that. Good luck.</p>
