<p>Alright, I've really looked on the specific college sites, but I only found the info on one (Georgetown). My question is do the colleges allow you to mix your scores from different test date, or do they only take your best test? Georgetown lets you mix, but all the other colleges I'm looking into didn't say on their website. They only tell you what tests they want you to take. The other schools I looked at were American, GW, Tufts, and Johns Hopkins. How can I find this info out? The reason I ask is because I got an 800 on the math section in January, but I know that I didn't get an 800 this time around (June). Still good, but not an 800. So does anybody know how to get this info?</p>
<p>UNC chapel hill lets you mix too</p>
<p>you can email them and they'll tell you :)</p>
<p>I think all of your scores get sent to the colleges, but most colleges take the highest score from each section</p>
<p>If I took an SAT in October and just took CR and left writing and math completely blank, would that look bad?</p>
<p>If I were the admission officer, it would really look bad to me. It would tell me that you are probably lazy, immature, and some other negatives. I would say just do your best in every section. The fact that you already got a high score in a section means you can't do too worse if you do it again.</p>
<p>K thanks guys.</p>
<p>Nah, I got lucky in math and that would probably go down.</p>
<p>I got math- 740 CR-680 W-770 - I wish I could just retake the 680</p>
<p>Your scores have to be sent directly from the testing agency (SAT or ACT) so no matter what you self-report, they will get the entire set of numbers. From SAT you can request which tests are sent so if you do poorly or have overall lower scores in each category on one test than you do on another, just don't request those scores be sent. Most colleges take your best in each area. I don't know of one that doesn't. I think, but please verify, if you request one ACT be sent to a college all your ACT's are. My D took both but we are in an SAT strong region so I don't know as much about ACT. I hope this helps and wasn't too confusing.</p>
