SAT score dropped 100 points...? Should I send them in?

Test Preparation

<p>I'm applying to 3 schools EA (all within my safety range and 1 is test optional) and the rest RD. Just saw my Oct. scores this morning and I'm kind of disappointed... the first time I took it, I got 1810 (M 550, CR 610, W 650); the second time I got 1980 (M 550, CR 650, W 780) and this time I got an 1880 (M 590, CR 640, W 650). Obviously they're more even scores and I've heard some colleges disregard the writing score completely, but should I send my Oct scores? The only section I was aiming to raise was Math, which is I'm guessing is the main reason why it went up and the others fell. Do colleges really superscore or do they look at all scores?</p>

<p>The schools I'm applying to are:
Providence College
UConn
UVM
Connecticut College
Boston University
Boston College
McGill
Tufts</p>

<p>According to the colleges they do indeed superscore, take your best score from each date. But you can’t pick and choose, they will see each score. My son had an almost identical situation. In May he got M 610, R 620, W 720, retook in October to bring his math grade up and he did to 630, reading stayed the same, and Writing dropped to 600! He def. did not put the effort into writing section, and concentrated on bringing up math and reading. Unfortunately reading did not budge. He plans on sending in both sets, b/c with superscore, he will have higher total. </p>

<p>He and I talked about it and decided that we have to take them at their word, that they want to consider your best in each section. So I would send all those scores in.</p>
