<p>My scores went from:
CR: 730
M:770
W:710
Total: 2210</p>
<p>to</p>
<p>CR:800
M:740
W:670
Total: 2210</p>
<p>(The ironic thing is the total is the same =S)
I have already arranged for the scores to be sent to colleges so I can't do much about it now. But just out of interest, will the 670 in writing hurt me? Even though many colleges superscore, they will still see all the scores, right?</p>
<p>Theoretically it won’t. Most all colleges superscore and say they only look at the highest scores. You have to trust their policy even though it’s possible it’s not true. That’s really the best you can do is to trust the info available.</p>
<p>I had almost the same situation as you. I took the SAT three times, but those three times all ended up having around the same score. However, for one of them, I scored perfect on math, the other one I did pretty well on CR, and the last one was good in writing. When you do send in both of your scores, they will see all your scores, but they superscore, so when they’re taking you in consideration for admission, they only see your highest scores from each category. It won’t hurt you. For example, I was waitlisted for a school that bases its decisions mainly on GPA and SATs. When I sent in my November SAT score (in which I scored really high in CR, but did lousy in Math and writing), I got accepted one week later. They do only take into consideration the highest scores.</p>
