<p>I was wondering if Miami looked at your highest SAT scores.</p>

<p>For example, I took the SAT last June and had a MUCH MUCH MUCH higher math score then when I took it this past October.</p>

<p>This happened cause I focused on the verbal and writing section more the second time around.</p>

<p>So my highest math score is in June, and the other two sections are from October.</p>

<p>What will Miami look at?</p>

<p>Yes, Miami will look at the highest score for each math and verbal and combine them to get your total score. I believe all colleges are doing this now. That is why it is very advantageous to take the SAT's more than once.</p>

<p>Yes, Miami will look at the combined score.</p>

<p>DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH OTHER SCHOOLS!</p>

<p>A lot of schools, particularly upper-tier schools will only look at "single-sittings" of the SAT or ACT. While Miami is not one of these schools, you'll have to check with each individual school to confirm that they combine scores.</p>
