How does the SAT grading work for colleges?

Test Preparation

<p>Here's my question:</p>

<p>If I get 700 Math/700 Reading/700 Writing (2100) in one sitting
then next time I get 800 Math/650 Reading/700 Writing (2150)....</p>

<p>do colleges see my score as being a 800 Math/700 Reading/700 writing = 2200, or do they take the best OVERALL score and my college score is a 2150...</p>

<p>I know colleges take your best score, but does this mean best score for each part, or best overall score?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don't even think the overall score, or the composite, is an official value. We like to add them up, but I think they are treated as seperate things, the sections. I'm pretty sure they'll consider your 700 in CR.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>CR/math/Writing are all seperate tests... just like SAT IIs</p>
