<p>Depends on the score... but probably not. Ivy leagues do count your highest scores, after all. But again, it really does depend on your scores. Also, SAT scores aren't the only factor that admission hinges upon. So don't worry! ;)</p>
<p>when do you get your question and answer services if you ordered it?</p>
<p>2150 ....
dissappointed</p>
<p>M: 710 (ewww...hoping for 800 but it is 1/3 tries)
Wr: 720 (75 MC, 8 Essay)---> $%&%# essay brought me down from my goal score
Cr: 580 (omg... this <em>^$^</em>#& section killed my score)
composite: 2010
some intensive CR focus is needed for me if i wanna reach a 2300</p>
<p>2200 total:
730 CR (highest ever---where did that come from??? i suck at CR)
760 M (would have liked higher, but that's only like.....2-ish wrong, so whatever)
710 W (unpleasantly surprised----i aced it on the psats and only got a 9 on the essay)</p>
<p>score reports come out saturday i think.....can't wait to see all the rediculous mistakes i made. did anyone get above a 10 on the essay?? if so what did you write about and how long was it?</p>
<p>Well I got an 11 in the essay, covered both pages completely, approx 10 words a line. My essay was about failures being necessary for success. I used an anecdote from Edison, a bit of philosophy waffling about the human spirit and the urge to succeed and triumph. Then I added in a bit about how regardless of the impact that our mistakes have, the positive and negative effects that change us and mould our characters into what we become are necessary. Bit more in the same vein.</p>
<p>What do the score reports tell you? I know you get to see a copy of the essay, but what else?</p>
<p>They basically give you a breakdown of how many you got correct, how many you got wrong, and how many you omitted. The reports give you your composite scores as well as a score range and percentiles (national and state). I'm not sure how it works with international testers. In the writing, not only do you get to see your essay, but you know how you got the score you got (whether two reader gave you "x" grade, OR if one gave you "x" and another gave you "y," OR if one gave you "x" and another gave you "y-1" or in any similar variation: what the third reader's grade "z" was and how doubling it gives you your final grade). LOL, I just turned my explanation into a math problem. Haha, sorry. If it was at all difficult to understand, I'll explain sans math! :D</p>

<p>P.S. Oh yeah, you also see average scores (except for the Writing section - although there are estimated writing percentiles on <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">www.collegeboard.com</a>) as well as an opportunity to see the writing section's rubric. On the writing section, you get to see what your m.c. subscore is. I think I've mentioned mostly everything. ;)</p>
<p>If Ivies take the highest of each section usually, then do they want a reasonable score for the other sections on that particular test? ex. 1st time: M:800 CR: 600 W: 750 , 2nd time: M:720 CR:800 W: 710
Would colleges see that perosn's scores as M:800 CR:800 W:750 ?</p>
<p>Haha thanks! This is my first taking the SAT I so I didn't know what to expect.</p>
<p>No, Chet2006. They would see it as all those different scores. The College Board doesn't nicely and neatly arrange scores that way. I have a similar situation. Colleges "say" that they consider all your highest scores from all administrations of the SAT, but that doesn't stop them from considering your other scores. Your candidacy can come to doubt if there are apparent (and possibly gross) discrepancies in your performance, regardless of your highest three composite scores.</p>
<p>No problem Gxing :) I'm always glad to help. If you have any more questions, PM me :D</p>

<p>Critical Reading........690.....94% (disappointed...I was hoping for at least 720-730)
Math.....................800......99% (I was expecting a 780-790)
Writing..................690 (extremely disappointed...my worst writing score ever...of course it's on the actual test)
Multiple Choice........71
Essay....................8 (stupid proctor didn't tell us when we had 5 minutes left, so my conclusion was horrible...I had 2 sentences, and it didn't finish well at all...this should have been at least a 10)</p>
<p>If one reader gives you a 4 and the other gives you a 6, and the third reader gives you a 5, do they just double the third score?</p>
<p>May
CR: 680
Math- 670
Writing- 670</p>
<p>October (no idea what happened)
CR- 600
Math- 590
Writing- 670</p>
<p>January
CR: 710 (Ecstatic!!! Didn't expect to improve)
Math: 730 (very happy)
Writing: 690 (hmm... improved by 20 points..but my essay only got an 8.. wish I could have done a little better)</p>
<p>CR: 800
M:790 (800 in OCT)
W 800 (80MC/11E)</p>
<p>Composite: 2400 w00t!!!! </p>
<p>I don't know how I got 790 in Math. I could have sworn that I put 20 for the water problem and I know for a fact that I put 6 for the polygon problem. I guess I lucked out and bubbled the right answer for the water problem. I am so excited about the 800 CR though. I didn't know about 3 of the words and I ended up guessing correctly.</p>
<p>I wonder what the CR scale was, because I doubt I got all of them right.</p>
<p>Goldfish: When two readers give you scores that differ by more than 1 (in the case of a 4 and a 6), then the Chief Reader (not just some other random reader) takes a look. His/her score is in fact doubled to determine your final essay score. If the Chief Reader decided it merits a 4, then you would get an 8. If s/he decides it merits a 6, then you would get a 12. I know this was just hypothetical, but that is probably one of the most unlikely and rare scenarios! Congrats and good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>-Jon :)</p>
<p>i'm so disappointed...I thought I did really well on the CR...
M-700
CR-660
W-780</p>
<p>I should def. take these again if I'm looking to get into Duke, Brown, Wash U, Tufts, etc., right? (I have the GPA and hopefully ECs)</p>
<p>Check out those schools' SAT ranges and then ask CCers that again ;)</p>
<p>PSAT 217
SAT 2180</p>
<p>Not bad?</p>
