Getting worse SAT the second time around

<p>Did bad on my SAT second time around by 100 points, how much will this adversely affect my application?</p>

<p>With most schools superscoring, I doubt it will matter at all.</p>

<p>If you improved on one section, it really doesn't matter. Most schools superscore.</p>

<p>I dropped on all three subsections the second time i took it, just dont sweat it especially if ur scores were good to begin with. I definitely dont think it was a factor at all in the handful of schools that didnt accept me.</p>

<p>Yeah, I dropped 100 pts from my first to my second test (though this was a transition between the old and new SAT's), but as long as a score is not a noticeable fluke it should be fine. After all, even the SAT people use a range because they understand that a typical tester actually scores in a range (or something like that - not really explaining it as best as I can...) but yeah, a drop doesn't matter, just the superscore (unless you're going the UC track and few other schools if I understand correctly)</p>
