Good old sat but average new sat

Hello people,

I took both the old and new sat 1 before, my old one was a 2300. But my new sat was 1510 (800M and 710R).
For selective schools that don’t allow score selection, would the new sat hurt my chances? I only took it once so I wasn’t really used to the format and all.
Thank you!

Your 2300 is better. Though it might depend on what scores you got on all sections. 1510 is still very good,not average. Submit the old at schools that will still take it.

Colleges have a lot of scores to go through, they probably will just take your best score. Colleges know the new SAT was pretty messy, and it’s still a pretty great score, so you’ll be fine. Definitely submit both scores though.
