<p>Most college websites (for example, About.com) or Common Data Set exclusively make two columns for the English and Math.
So, does it mean that they look at these two scores more than other sections? (Just like how SAT treats CR and Math more??)</p>
<p>I have relatively higher score for English and Math than Reading and Science... haha.</p>
<p>The only score that basically counts is the composite. If you look at the stats from most any major school, it is the average composite score that is reported. Yes, the other scores are on your report. But it is the composite number that seems to be key.</p>
<p>It all depends on the college you plan on applying to. One of my colleges ONLY looked at Math and English for admissions (which lucky for me were my two highest scores, so I got accepted). Not all colleges do this though. As Patriots above me said, if they don’t specify certain scores that they look at, they tend to look at it as a whole. So basically they will look at the composite because they don’t want to get into looking at separate scores.</p>
<p>good luck,
yeah there may be a few out there that look at a certain section or two.
but the composite score is the standard.
my opinion - there are way too many applicants for most schools to start looking at it on a section by section basis. they simply use the composite # combined with all the other info, like gpa, etc.</p>

<p>This is definitely true. If it is a larger school, you can be certain they are going to just look at your composite. The school that I mentioned above is very small, so they are able to look at those alone. Moral of the story, try to get a high composite.</p>
<p>Salve, I agree with you 100%.</p>
