<p>I need your help guys, so I am a hopeful and many high-tier colleges, and I scored perfect scores on SAT Writing and Math, however, the problem is my Critical Reading Score, I never had time to improve it, and ended up with a 680.</p>

<p>My question is, is there anything that can possibly offset this low CR score (It's below 50%tile and most schools, and it's below 25%tile at the ultra-competitive schools)</p>

<p>Would a high SAT II Humanities test or a high AP English Language/Literature test be able to offset the low Critical Reading score? Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I think the answer is by good grades in subjects that are reading intensive like English and history.</p>

<p>SAT 2 Subject: Lit at 750 would offset it, yes.
AP classes and scores would mitigate the effect, too.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies!
I got a 5 on AP Lang&Composition test and AP US History. and a 770 on SAT II US History.
I have gotten A in all my English/History and Reading Intensive classes and got a recommendation from my English teacher too. English was one of my strongest subjects and I’m just sad how poorly I did on Critical Reading</p>
