i took this january sat exam, but i kinda bombed the critical reading section. but i dont want to cancel the scores because im pretty sure that i got 800 on writing, which will help me get an awesome superscore.
Still, im worried that colleges will look bad at how my reading score decreased- i got 770 before, but im expecting a 710ish score this time. so what should i do?
Get serious and move on.
It depends. What colleges are you thinking of applying to? A few colleges still require you to submit your entire testing history but they claim to consider only your best scores (of course if that’s truly the case one has to wonder why they want all scores in the first place). Most colleges however, super score so you can submit just your best scores to those that do.
