<p>Hey everyone, I got a 690 subscore in Math, Reading, and Writing....would it be better to have say a 600 in one section and an 800 in another? </p>
<p>I don't know what I want to major in or what my "focus" will be either.. </p>
<p>So would colleges take my scores as being "well-rounded" or more like i'm "not GREAT at anything"?</p>
<p>Dear “Jack of all trades, master of none”, this is actually a very good question that you raise for your very first post. The simple answer would be a 1400 (600 + 800) is better than a 1380 (690 + 690). I think your question might actually be is a 2070 (690 x 3) better than a 2070 where you score a 600, 800, and say a 670. I personally would want to take my chances that I could hopefully raise my 600 score. Getting a perfect score of 800, providing it was in Math or CR, would be worth the risk of getting a 600 on something else. This assumes of course that you would be taking the test a second time. In your case, you will still want to retake the test and do some practice tests in preparation for your next sit down. Good luck!</p>
<p>it really depends on what college your heading to because if you go to a school where they do superscoring, then yes focus on one subject and if you want to go ivy league, focus on cr.</p>
<p>Right, the 600 and 800 are sort of hypothetical in this case. Should I be satisfied with my scores though? If I god as low as a 600 on any section I would probably retake the SAT, regardless of my other subscores…but would it be wise to retake it in my current situation?</p>
