<p>So lets say I take 3 SAT tests and get a 600 in Math the first time, a 600 in CR the second, and a 600 in Writing the third time. Can I take the score from one test, and combine it with the other two? So I would have a 1800(600 Math, 600 CR, 600 Writing). Is this possible? </p>
<p>If yes, can I then basically throw away the other two sections on my last test and simply focus on one type of section? Will it hurt my chances of getting into a good college if they know that I did this? </p>
<p>Also, I had a question about the CR section. I've been having some trouble with the vocab section, and don't have enough time to study before the June SAT. That said, should I skip some vocab questions on the SAT? </p>
<p>Thank-you</p>
<p>Yes, that is how ScoreChoice works. On the SAT test, all the reading questions are weighted equally and the vocab questions can be done the quickest. I think it would be a good idea based on your score range (600-700) to skip the hardest vocab questions, usually the last 2, on each section, unless you know the words. This will improve your score. In all honesty, though, I spent a week learning vocab before my last SAT using a very nice list by SparkNotes: [SAT:</a> Improve SAT Score with SparkNotes: The Top 250 Most Difficult SAT Words](<a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides)
If you learn 25 words a day, u can learn these words in 10 days, so aim for that! Good luck.</p>
<p>most schools do superscore the SAT, which means that take the best score of each section (and often don’t even see other scores because done by computer). Most will focus on math+critical reading only. I’m not sure you should ever do lest than your best as in “throw away two sections” but it is valid to concentrate study time on one you want to bring up. Depending on the schools you are shooting for, these are good, but not great scores if you want selective school or honors program.</p>
<p>To work on CR, just keep doing practice sections and read more than the line the question refers do or you’ll pick the wrong answer. I think the SAT scores in a way that says don’t guess unless you can narrow it down. Even if you are currently a junior you have several times you can take it in the fall and still have scores considered for admissions</p>
