<p>If some universities accept highest scores in different sittings, then couldn't someone just take the SAT three times and each of those times focus on doing one section only while prior to the test devote studying time to only that one section?</p>
<p>That's what I was thinking of doing... lol</p>
<p>If that is actually possible.... :eek:</p>
<p>I know people that are doing that. It's like thinking of it as steps. Get your perfect or near perfect score in A, then study and prep for B and get it there, then do it for C. Like now that I have 800 on math I am not going to really practice or study because i don't care if I don't get that 800 again.</p>
<p>interesting...</p>
<p>HOW IS THT POSSIBLE???wont they see that u did badly next time in math or do they jus count higest scores from different sittings</p>
<p>They just count the highest scores from each sitting. I mean, if you got an 800 or close to it in the section before, obviously you will still get in the 700 range even without studying this time so they won't see it as a real inconsistancy. Actually I just remembered a specific story of the SAT crazy friend of mine. He got an 800 a while back on verbal. So his 3rd test or whatever he used the time that was given for verbal as extra time for math lol. Just like 10 minutes extra per verbal section, but still that's pretty ridiculous. He wasn't caught either.</p>
<p>haha hmm i was thinking of doing that too, but here is the thing, the CB looks out for people who have high score improvements in one section and the rest of their scores drop dramatically. Like their system litterally checks for it, and they could accuse you of cheating. (Its super hard to appeal and beat the CB)</p>
<p>So, is the strategy about studying for only one section reasonable?</p>
<p>hmm idk it sounds good, but has anyone on here personally tried taking only one section?</p>
<p>So just about most of the CC bound schools (otherwise the top schools in the nation) take mix and matched scores???</p>
<p>If so, then why doesn't everybody just study for one section each time he/she takes the SAT?? Since there's three times: first time focus on CR, second time focus on Math, third time focus on Writing...or w/e order preference. </p>
<p>Can this mix match thing actually work or are the adcoms just going to think that it's cheap?</p>
<p>bump......</p>
<p>It's just the SAT :. Most people don't want to waste that much money and time. They'd rather write a novel, conduct research, or start a club.</p>
<p>If you need to improve on all sections, I'd suggest tackling two at a time hardcore without ignoring the last. When you get results, then focus on the two most improvable scores. But never neglect 1/3 of the test.</p>
<p>So something like this?
First Test
800 M
600 CR
600 W
Second Test
750 M
800 CR
600 W
Third Test
700 M
750 CR
800 W</p>
<p>I have CR and W in the range of 600~650. Would it be wise to study CR before W.</p>
