Desperate SAT decision- Urgent- Please Read!!!

<p>Well, not really. I just wanted to catch your attention.
-here is my question: I have a 750 w score and a 680 math score with a horrible 570 m score. So, would it be detrimental if I left the whole, or at least 2 parts (since the essay is in the first section), of the writing section blank and concentrate primarily on the math and CR to improve my scores in these areas?
- There are many reasons why i want to do this. First, I will have more time to think about the other sections, and maybe I can flip back and finish answering anything that I may not have completed when the supervisor is not looking; we all know there are many windows of opportunity to do this, and i myself have gone back to answered questions on the previous section after the time was up. The only thing is that this causes you to loose time on the next section, but if I don't have to do the w section this won't matter, get it? Also, I can focus my studies on the m and CR , even though the w section is easy anyways. I just need more time to work out the other sections.</p>

<p>--WOuld anyone recommend this? After all, colleges are not looking at the w section anyways, right?
This would irrefutably boost my composite score since I am sure that I can improve on the math dramatically.</p>

<p>SO, are my perceptions of how this strategy would work accurate at all?
Or would this ultimatelly hinder my status?</p>

<p>Thank you very much...</p>

<p>If you can live with yourself having an unfair advantage over other students, I would say it's for you.</p>

<p>I'm sort of horrified that you would post something asking if we'd recommend that you cheat.</p>

<p>Yes, I guess this is non-sense. I guess I am just too worried about the SAT. I am pretty sure that I can raise all three scores anyways and I don't think I will take the SAT again anyhow.
GOod luck to the rest of you...</p>

<p>You can focus on 2 subjects but I strongly suggest you don't go back to finish a section. Then you risk losing the whole test.</p>

<p>I say go for it, honestly its youre life, Id do the same, but I think that if you tried hard enough you could study hard and get ALEAST a 700 in math or whatever subject you wanted to cheat in</p>

<p>Don't colleges see all your scores? I mean even if they accept the best one, they'll still see all your attempts. So wouldn't they notice that you bombed a section on purpose?</p>

<p>All of these kids who are trying to bemoan you for cheating just don't have the guts to do it themselves, or they would. Look, if you don't do it, someone else will. If you're presented with an opportunity to give yourself an advantage over others, YOU SHOULD TAKE IT. If you don't, I guarantee someone else will.</p>

<p>I don't really have ADD, but I got my doctor to write me up a script anyways. I got the 100% additional time accomodation on my SATs and it boosted my score by roughly 450 points total.</p>

<p>I didn't do an OUNCE of preparation and I got a 2220. (800 CR, 620 math and 800 writing(12/12 essay and 80/80 MC))</p>

<p>I also got into my first choice (read: huge reach) college with much lower stats than the average applicant. I didn't do any work in HS, I mostly partied and had fun.</p>

<p>But I got ahead and I won at this game. I sleep well every night (can't wait for the fall!) and I couldn't be happier with the person I see in the mirror. A person who took risks and came out on top. A person who is going places.</p>

<p>That's life.</p>

<p>Mark dude do anything that will benefit you</p>

<p>the short answer is no....during an info session for an Ivy, the rep said a kid did just that -- scored a 800m/680v, first time around and scored a 250m/760v second time. Kid was rejected immediately, since the second score was suspect -- obviously napping during the math portion, or, actually cheating by going back to the verbal.</p>
