<p>I omitted one question, and really believed I had not missed any other question. Though yeah, I can account for two or three stupid mistakes, I still got a 680. I thought I would at least get a 740</p>
<p>Hello. I just got my SAT I scores from the October test date and I’m pleased overall but really confused about my math score:</p>
<p>CR 630
M 490 ???
W 650 (Essay 8)</p>
<p>Back in May when I took the test for the first time, I got the same composite but different sub-scores:</p>
<p>CR 560
M 610
W 600 (Essay 9)</p>
<p>I have no idea how I messed up the math section and scored 120 points lower than before. I had done a decent amount of preparation over the summer as well so I was expecting an increase :(</p>
<p>I’m really confused and sad, and not sure how colleges will look at this score decrease… I’ve also already requested the scores to be sent to some of my schools. Should I ask for a remark? How would this affect the application process?</p>
<p>I realise this might be a pointless thread but I don’t know what to do</p>
<p>I had the same thing… I scored a 650 the first time… and even though i practiced a lot, my score went down to a 620 for October.</p>
<p>It’s normal for your score to go down a little from test to test, but i mean 120 points lower? Are you sure they scored it right? I mean people often go down, but not by that much. I would take it again, this time focusing mostly on math. Wait till October 29th, which is when they’ll release the detailed information, and look at your weaknesses, and practice those.</p>
<p>All 3 of my scores went down even though i studied a lot for this one. Is there something messed up we the college Board or are we just unfortunate. My brother and my friend had the same thing happen to them</p>
<p>For all of you whose scores declined, how did you study? I’m curious if you focused on taking official practice tests and carefully reviewed each question afterwords.</p>
<p>I took veritas say prep. We did it all. Practice tests, strategies, lectures, vocab. I am really disappointed.</p>
<p>Check out the stickied study guides on this forum. You might do better with these free tools than with verities.</p>
<p>1 year ago I scored a 183 on the PSAT. 55 Reading, 68 Math, 61 Writing. Today I received my scores for my first SAT and I scored a 2250: 680 Reading, 770 Math, 800 Writing. Couldn’t be happier. I owe the bast majority of my success to the SAT Prep Black Book by Mike Barrett.</p>
<p>I got a 770 when I was extremely confident that I got an 800. Not extremely disappointed, but a bit surprised. Wait and see on Oct. 29th when we get our full score reports to see exactly how many questions we all missed.</p>
<p>Okay thank you for the replies. I followed different people’s advice here on CC but mostly just did practice tests and later went over them. I did about 2 a week in the summer and then some vocab, reading and math practice/revision in between each test… I didn’t follow any course though.</p>
<p>One more question though - would it be worth retaking in December or should I just request a remark or something? </p>
<p>I still can’t believe it ugh I’m so disappointed :(</p>
<p>I’m really confused about my math score also. I got 800 CR, 800 W, and 710 math. I knew for a fact I had gotten one wrong but I was almost positive I hadn’t gotten any other questions wrong. I think 710 would mean I got 4 wrong, but even when I look at the discussion threads again, I can’t account for 3 more missed answers. I’ve taken about 30 practice tests in the last 8 months and math has always been my strongest section. I usually got 0-1 wrong in math and NEVER got 4 wrong. Of course, I might have made a mistake when filling in my answers, but I never did so on practice tests and I’m usually not that careless. I ordered the QAS, so when I get that I’ll hopefully see what I did wrong.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would retake, just because I haven’t heard of anyone getting back a considerable amount of points from the score verification.</p>
<p>To those of you who felt your math score was abnormally low, which experimental did you have? I’m curious whether something might have happened with a certain form of the test. Unlikely, but I’m just curious.</p>
<p>Ik Its not really related to the post, but RishabC297: Please share your thoughts that how did you increse your CR score from 55 psat to 680 sat? I really need help for this section:/
I usually average 580-600 on this section 
need a 650+ atleast :/</p>
<p>I had an experimental math section.</p>
