Uneven SAT Scores?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi, this is my first post here so sorry if I'm doing it wrong!</p>

<p>I wanted to know what colleges will think if my scores on the different parts of the SAT are uneven. I've taken the test twice.</p>

<p>In January:
Reading: 800
Math: 570
Writing: 700</p>

<p>In March:
Reading: 800
Math: 550
Writing: 780</p>

<p>All in all my superscore is 2150, which isn't too bad, but I was hoping to break 2200. I'm worried that colleges will notice my math grade keeps going down--it's my worst subject. Will they consider me not a good candidate because I can't break 600 in the math section? I'm taking the test again in June and I'm worried that I'll go down even FARTHER in the math and that it will look really bad. How much do you think this will affect me as a candidate? (My GPA is around 3.7 because it fluctuates between 3.6 and 3.8)</p>

<p>Please advise, I'm very nervous about this.</p>

<p>It’s probably fine for most colleges. But get the PWNtheSAT book. Your math score will go up a bunch probably, the book is really helpful. I wouldn’t fret it, but study hard and you could get your math score at least above 600.</p>

<p>My first SAT was 570 R, 800 M, 680 W. It happens…</p>

<p>I guess it also depends on what kind of college you want to go to. If you wanted to go to a college where math is the focus, then studying more for math wouldn’t be a bad idea.</p>

<p>if it were your first retake, i might say getting a book and going solo was fine. BUT this is your third testing, you really need a guarantee of a raised math score to make it worthwhile. i would recommend getting a tutor.</p>
