<p>Say for example:</p>
<p>I take the SAT first time:
Critical Reading = 600
Math = 620
Writing = 630</p>
<p>Second time:
Critical Reading = 560
Math = 710
Writing = 640</p>
<p>My brother said he added the best of critical reading + the best in math + the best in writing. Can I add the three best scores? Is it possible to send the best individual scores? Or is it all some sort of "packaged deal"?</p>
<p>I believe they take the best composite score, so there's that "packaged deal."</p>
<p>It depends on the university. Some take the best score in each individual section, others take the best total one-sitting score. You can find out on the web sites of the universities you are interested in.</p>
<p>You cannot send only your best score but most universities take the best composite score.</p>
<p>Yeah most will take the best composite score [w/ a notable exception of the UC's as well as a few others who only take the best sitting], and through college board, if you send an official score report, all scores will be reported, so there's no way of hiding that fact, so...</p>
