<p>Here are my scores for the SAT:
M 750 R 540 W 640</p>
<p>I am certainly satisfied with my math score of 750, but I really want to get my reading score up to at least 600. Both times I took the SAT I got a 540 in the section. I was planning on not wasting my time in trying to raise my math score, since it can only go up 50 points, and completely skip the section, filling in no answers. I was wondering if it would be wise to do this, or if I should just fill in random answers or actually try on the section or something else other than skipping it. I really want to focus on raising my reading score and not waste my energy by working on the math section. Please respond with input. It would be nice to find somebody who has done this. I don't know if it would even matter if I skipped the section but I just want to make sure.</p>
<p>I think that is a brilliant idea. You are talking about on the real test day right? After doing this, you should go apply to a school that doesn’t superscore.</p>
<p>Schools, even if they do superscore, don’t like students that purposely bomb a section because it shows how lazy they are.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bomb the section of purpose but I just wouldn’t study for math and not worry about it at all the day of the test eg. not check over the work and not worry too much if you can’t get a question</p>
<p>idk sounds kinda like something you shouldnt do… just think, if you just gave it a LITTLE bit of an effort, your math score could be 760 or 770, 780, 790, 800 ..
try to improve it since there is room; you’re probably very capable of raising your score</p>
<p>Laziness and possible improvement aside, do you really have anything better to do during that time? Honestly, I’d find doing the math more fun than just sitting there waiting.</p>
<p>It is not something you should do. Yes, many colleges superscore but if they see a huge variance (and you are looking at a 500 point variance) questions will be raised. Moreover, they can only guess that you did not take the math because the score will not necessarily tell them that – if you answer nothing, you won’t get a 200, but instead some score in the mid 200’s (to get a 200 actually requires that you answer every question wrong which is more difficult to do than to get an 800).</p>
<p>Getting a 200 does not require you to get everything wrong. You need a negative score to get a 200 sometimes, but you can just miss like 5-10 problems which assures that you get a 200.</p>
