<p>I got a 1870 on my first SAT then a 1760 on my second one. For both I sent out the four free reports. Is it going to hurt me at some schools that I did worse? I know they say that they only look at the highest combined but is that really true? Will they only look at the 1860?</p>
<p>Yes… how the heck do you go down… that shows u slack off, so yes its bad for app but colleges have to see all your scores… sorry</p>
<p>I dont know how I went down. Maybe it’s because its a test that you can’t study for or really be prepared for the questions because while the format stays the same the questions themselves change all the time.</p>
<p>I didnt slack off, I worked just as hard on the second test.</p>
<p>Don’t stress out too much over it.
Good luck with college admissions!</p>
<p>Have a few safeties, just in case (:</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>They only look at your highest score (or at least they claim). It shouldn’t matter much at all, don’t worry about it too much :P…</p>
<p>My suggestion is to take them again in October. My D took them 3 times. Her 2nd was the worst as was most of her friends. She did best on Writing and CR in October. Good luck! You have time to prepare over the summer!</p>
<p>Im going to be away during the October test, thats why I went with May and not October to begin (I took subjects today so today was out too)</p>
<p>Im honestly very content with my 1870 but I just want to make sure the second test wont hurt.</p>
