<p>Well, I just looked up my SAT scores only to find that I got a 720M, 750CR, and 780W. Now I clearly know that this is not a bad score. However, the thing is, I got a 790 on my SAT math back in 8th grade for a talent search program (I'm a HS junior right now) and I also have an 800 on my SAT II Math 2C, which I took in ninth grade.</p>
<p>So will this 720M reflect badly in the eyes of the college admissions officer? Also, should I retake my SAT in the hopes of getting a higher math score, even if this might jeopardize my CR and W scores? (I usually average in the low- to mid-700s on my practice tests, so this came as a surprise.) Also, will colleges "superscore" an SAT using scores from back in 8th grade?</p>
<p>As far as I know, scores from middle school are put into archives and not sent to colleges unless you specifically request it. </p>
<p>And I would recommend you retake to bump yourself closer to a definitely-attainable 2400. While not all schools superscore, I think that (with your current scores) you can certainly make a good jump that will bolster your profile significantly.</p>
<p>the math section has one of the hardest curves; missing 1 question got me a 770–twice. my math sat scores were 770, 670, and 770. the second time i took the sat i was just really out of it. and the first and third time, well, i felt like i should have gotten 800s but i probably made a silly careless mistake.</p>
