<p>Say that you took 20 SAT tests, and now that colleges accept the highest score after taking as much as I want, do the colleges still see all of my 20 SAT tests' scores? Or just the highest score?</p>
<p>2nd question,I am wondering when I am suppose send the SAT scores to the colleges that I am going to apply for?</p>
<p>Yes, they see all of them even though they only accept the highest score from each section.</p>
<p>Which makes me wonder, what would they think if they see</p>
<p>1st time: 800, 200, 200
2nd time: 200, 800, 200
3rd time: 200, 200, 800</p>
<p>Scores are sent automatically by the college board a few weeks after the test to whichever schools you selected when registering for the SAT.</p>
<p>^ that would look really bad... yeah, the superscore is 2400.... but the single sitting is 1200... it'd be different if the single sitting is 2250 or something like that and the superscore is 2400</p>
<p>ajwchin, I've wondered the same thing! That's a weakness in superscoring.</p>
<p>I think the split 800s would look nice with 200's on every other section on each respective test. Earning a 200 is hard, since you have to get EVERY single problem wrong in that section--not get one right by even a mistake. Seems easy, really isn't. It would definitely mean you know what you are doing, but colleges might take you as a goofball :P</p>
<p>Bowdoin adcom says they saw this from someone and promptly rejected him/her.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree it is just about as hard to get a 200 as it is an 800, because as WantIVy said you must essentially know the answer to every question.</p>
<p>and what if you just leave the answer sheet blank? :D</p>
<p>Then you would have a raw score of 0 and could have a scaled score of anywhere from 200-350, perhaps.</p>
<p>Hah, i would love it if we could take the SATs as much as we want. though, i'd probably still be taking them when i'm like 40. :)
unfortunately, after 3 tests, the scores are averaged instead of just best score. kinda sucks, doesn't it?</p>

<p>Patently false. All you have to do is pick one wrong answer out of the graciously provided 4 to get them all wrong. You have to pick the right one on every question to get an 800. </p>

<p>Also false. Take it as many times as you need to get the score you need. Schools don't average them...at least not any reputable school I've heard of.</p>
<p>Actually, you have to be about a 480-500 student to get (on purpose) a 200 on SAT math.</p>
<p>Omitting everything = 210 - 260 but never 200.</p>
<p>Randomly guessing = 210 - 260 but never 200 (same since raw score is zero, here I'm assuming all grid-ins incorrect and 20%, or 9 correct multiple choice).</p>
<p>To guarantee a 200 no matter what the curve is, you need a -4 or lower, which you can get by knowing the answers to about 1/2 the questions (and picking the wrong ones) and randomly guessing on the others.</p>
