How the colleges look at the SATs-Help Please!!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Okay so everyone's abuzzing because test scores got released today (and I'm no exception)</p>

<p>My first time around (January):
Math: 760
Reading:750
Writing: 640</p>

<p>This time around (June):
Math: 720
Reading: 800
Writing: 780</p>

<p>Soooo I really glad I improved in the verbal stuff but my math dropped and I'm totally a math nerd :p! </p>

<p>Should I retake the SAT again so I have a chance to get perfect 800 math. (I got 800s on both Physics and Math II on the Sat IIs).</p>

<p>A more Important Question:
I know college board is instituting a new policy (but I won't be affected since I'm class of 09). Before, I heard colleges only looked at the top score in each section, not paying much attention to which time/test the score came from.
However, the colleges still want you to report your scores for each section for all test taken.</p>

<p>I guess my question is:
Will the colleges view my scores as:
760-800-780 (the best scores overall)</p>

<p>Or will they view it as:
720-800-780 (the best TEST taken)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>P.S. I'm aiming for the Ivies :)</p>

<p>Yeah, I think despite the new scoring policy, they will still view your best scores in each section (superscore) and see your 760-800-780. Good job, by the way... I would kill to have those numbers.</p>
