<p>how will colleges view the sat? </p>
<p>will they take the best score from each section? And if your scores vary like 770 on CR the first time I took it and then 670 the second time, will that impact anything?</p>
<p>Most colleges take the best combined score, as in they do NOT have to be in one sitting.</p>
<p>For most colleges it's the highest scores from each section. There may be some exceptions, especially in public colleges, but I haven't encountered such.</p>
<p>anyone have a list of what colleges dont take the highest in each section?</p>
<p>Also, would there be an impact on admissions if i got 770 on CR and 670 the second time?</p>
<p>UCs and Michigan are single sitting; that's all I know of.</p>
<p>As far as the 770/670 thing, it might depend on the school whether or not they see all the scores. Some schools have a paper shuffler that writes out a summary with only the best scores. Others will see all of them. Although they only claim to consider top scores, I would think that seeing a lower score would have a psychological effect - esp. since applicants are evaluated "holistically."</p>
<p>UT also is single-sitting.</p>
<p>washington is also single sitting</p>
