Colleges taking best sections

<p>will colleges take best sections from the SAT I. If i take it two times, will they take the best sections or the whole sitting? I need to know this for competetive colleges and the ivies thank</p>

<p>they take the best from each section, they wanna see how well you can do!
question tho, do you know if you took the writing satII if that would replace the writing section on the test?</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>I believe that most colleges no longer accept the SATII writing. I have another question though, when schools say that the average SAT score for accepted kids is 1450 (or whatever it may be) is that also taking the kid's best scores from each section? I always thought it was the best composite score.</p>

<p>I just got my March scores, which were all very high except for Math (670). On the Old SAT in January, I got 760 in Math. Anyone know if my composite score can still include that Old Math score?</p>

<p>From what I heard from the guidance counselor they will</p>

<p>i believe they do. there is a website about this but i can't remember at this point. i got an 800 on my old SAT math so I want that score to count. :)</p>

<p>Each school makes their own decisions. My D scored lower on the new then she did on the old. Old 780M, 630V, New 720M, 620V, 610W. I called most of the schools on her list and here is what I was told.
Ithaca College: Old or new, will take the highest section from either test.
American University: New only
Marist College: New only
SUNY Geneseo: Old or new
SUNY Buffalo: New only, but will not look at the writing portion at all
SUNY Plattsburgh: Old or new
Columbia: Old or new but will not take section scores from the different tests
NYU: Old or new
Syracuse: New only
Princeton: New only</p>

<p>I've often heard that colleges frown upon taking the SAT more than twice. For colleges that will not look at the old SAT at all, will an administration of the old SAT count towards that figurative quota?</p>

<p>yeah, its all composites - if you ever do better on a section, they'll just look at that</p>
