<p>As yyou can see…despite studying hard and stuff I have always walked away from a testing with one category improved by 10-20 points and one category tanked from the last testing.</p>
<p>I can’tbeleive I got a 670 on the CR for this test. It’s really uncharacteristic of me. Do you think this set of scores just looks bad? I don’t even know what to say about this. My superscore is fine…2170, but when you look at all 3 together and you see those 600s every time, it just doesn’t sit right. I need an opinion on this. I have already applied ED. Should I mention something about my scores to them?</p>
<p>I went to a program at Columbia and one of the admissions officers told us that they have a program that pulls out the highest score from each section, and that's what they see. They don't really care about the other scores, so I wouldn't worry about it.</p>
<p>^Well for the ACT they take the highest composite score.</p>
<p>And OP, don't worry about it at all. The only time they care about lower scores is if there's a clear pattern of you only focusing on one section each time (like 500-500-800). Since that's obviously not the case, all they'll consider is the 2170.</p>
<p>i feel like they say they'll consider the top score only to increase their final tally count so people will think that they get higher testers admitted.</p>
