<p>I'm not even considering Ivy leagues, just going to a state school or something.</p>
<p>But:</p>
<p>Previous
800 Writing
720 Reading
560 Math</p>
<p>2080 Total</p>
<p>This time:
690 Writing (nooo!)
740 Reading
650 Math (better)</p>
<p>2080 Total
So will the huge drop in the writing make it look uneven, does that null my 800 in their heads or something. :(</p>
<p>On the contrary, if you submit both many schools will take the best subsection scores that will actually benefit you.</p>
<p>monstor344 - </p>
<p>so would her score be</p>
<p>800 Writing
740 Reading
650 Math</p>
<p>Total 2190</p>
<p>how the heck did you go from an 800 in writing to a 690?</p>
<p>Lots of schools will “superscore” taking the highest individual score from each section giving you a superscore of 2190. Writing is not nearly as critical as the math/reading sections - some schools only look at math/reading scores. You have a 1390 from one sitting on that combination. Do not sweat the fluctuation in one score. Look at the websites and see how they score and what they use.</p>
