<p>Ok guys, let's just vent it out and mourn right here.. it was my last shot @ the SAT's, I thought I improved, but I DROPPED 140 points :(</p>
<p>This is rediculous.. i studied so hard.. it's never happened to me before...so,</p>
<p>1900 --> 1760 now!</p>
<p>How embarrasing. Now colleges are going to think I "lucked" my way that 1900.</p>
<p>Or, they will assume that you had a bad day in December. The admissions people at colleges are human beings.</p>
<p>Mines--thank god I sent in my scores!!!</p>
<p>Dec test was very HARD! I dropped 150 points, lol</p>
<p>Hey, hey, not necessarily. Don't be so hard on yourself.</p>
<p>The way colleges look at your SAT is this way:
First time around let's say you had 700 verbal, 600 math, 700 writing, for a total of 2000. (Just to keep the numbers easy.)
Second time you got 600 verbal, 700 math, 600 writing, for a total of 1900.</p>
<p>Your prospective college will look at your highest scores PER SECTION, not composite. They'll take the 700 verbal, 700 math, and 700 writing and look at those. That's why there's an advantage to taking the SAT more than once.</p>
<p>thanks for the support...</p>
<p>is it true that Colleges can't see the individual scores sent by CollegeBoard.com?</p>
<p>I was told by some students at my school that when you send your score, collegeboard.com immediately sorts out your best COMPOSITE score overall... so the colleges won't be able to see the rest.</p>
<p>Mine went down :-</p>
<p>heyyyyyy...I got a 1760...is that supposed to be bad?</p>
<p>My score dropped 110 points. Anyone with 100 point drops or more should join my 100 point drop club for the SAT.</p>
<p>man did everyones score DROP??
who actually improved on the dec one?</p>
<p>No, CB sends everything.</p>
<p>I hope the ET's are happy...</p>
<p>SAT's ruined my Christmas.</p>
<p>^ lol it's okay it's not the end of the world</p>
<p>there are students with far worse scores than yours, so consider yourself way above average</p>
<p>stressed0ut you ruined your own christmas, not ET</p>
<p>and it's ridiculous, not rediculous</p>

<p>This is NOT "NECESSARILY" true. Although some colleges do this, other colleges do not. For instance, I know that Penn State main campus does not do this and I'm pretty positive that Harvard, Yale, and other prestigious colleges do not either (If they do, they'll have too many perfect scorers).</p>
<p>Also, I think I read from collegeboard that they send your all scores.</p>
