<p>Is it better to have a score of Writing:710 CR:680 Math: 710 or Writing: 710 CR: 680 Math: 780?</p>
<p>The first score is 2100 and the second is 2060.</p>
<p>Colleges simply add the highest scores you got all together..</p>
<p>so, basically you got a: Math- 780, CR: 680, Writing: 710 </p>
<p>2170.</p>
<p>or a 1460</p>
<p>That depends on the college. Some will take your highest total score, others will take the highest individual scores. So some colleges will take the 2100 and won't care about the individuals, while others will take the highest Writing, highest CR, and highest Math out of all of them, and create a new SAT score.</p>
<p>damn good score my friend.</p>
<p>Do UC's do total score, or highest single session score?</p>
<p>thanks for the help</p>
<p>What am I missing here? </p>
<p>The first score above is 710+680+710= 2100
and the second is 710+680+780=2170.</p>
<p>I have a feeling the first post was edited.</p>
<p>In answer to Castel's question, UCs take the best single score--unlike most other colleges. This is why it is completely unfair to compare, for example, UC Berkeley's score vs the score at Duke. The UC Berkeley score would have to be increased probably by 50 to 70 points to be equivalent to what most people would get if they were allowed to take just the best scores from each section from multiple sittings.</p>
<p>You're always there to save my day Calcruzer!</p>
<p>it will say it was edited if it was edited.</p>
<p>No, sheep, that's not true. The "edited" notice is only posted for an editing that occurs after the first 10 minutes or so, or if someone chooses to use the "Reason for editing" space (you have a total of 20 minutes to make edits.)</p>
<p>Try it yourself if you don't believe me. I've already edited my response (this one) twice.</p>
