Damn reading section...

<p>If I took the SAT again and my overall score went down, would that reflect negatively toward colleges I apply to?</p>

<p>The reason I'm asking is because I think I really did my best on math and reading with 760 in each, but I did relatively poorly in reading with a 650. I know if I retake I can get my reading up, but I'm not sure if my math and reading will change at all and I fear they may go down.</p>

<p>If a college says they take the composite score, do single-sitting scores have any bearing on their decision?</p>

<p>I don't think so.. Just your highests.</p>

<p>I read somewhere (PR I think) that some colleges look at the lowest scores. For no reason, other than spite, I guess.</p>
