Does it look bad to do worse on the SAT when you retake it?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I just took the test, and I'm afraid I missed two math problems. My old math score was 790 and I think I might have gotten worse on this SAT. Will it hurt my chances of admission to UC schools if I did worse on the SAT? (In the math section in particular).</p>

<p>dont worry</p>

<p>i went from 790 to 700 from march to october and ive been told that they will only look at the highest</p>

<p>Will they mix and match?</p>

<p>Example: 700 CR, 780 math, 750 writing
Retake: 770 CR, 700 math, 750 writing</p>

<p>Scores colleges consider: 770 CR, 780 math, 750 writing?</p>

<p>depends on the school, but most of them will combine sittings</p>

5

<p>unfortunately, UCs do not combine sittings - they take the highest score from one sitting</p>

<p>I have the same question as Hazhulkhen's</p>
