Varying Scores Among Sections

Test Preparation

<p>I think this is my post here, but I've been lurking around recently. Anyway, I just have a quick(ish) question. Does it look bad if your scores range 200 points from section to section? I took the new SAT's this June and here's how it looks: </p>

<p>CR: 750 (Shocked and surprised beyond belief)
M: 570
W: 650</p>

<p>And for the old SAT's, which I took the last time they were offered:
CR: 680
M: 570</p>

<p>Just to be thorough, my SAT II's:
Bio M: 700 Thoroughly upsetting after two consecutive years of Bio (Hnrs + AP)
Chem: 630 Satisfied, but will retake in Nov. since that was only after a summer course
Math IC: 560. Enough said. Forced to retake and cry in Nov</p>

<p>It all depends, your scores are better than two 570's and worse than two 750's. It just depends on where you are applying and what not. I don't think there is anything bad about just the fact the difference is 200 points.</p>

<p>Thanks. I want to major in Biochem, and I was looking at strong matches/safeties, including Northeastern and WPI. I seem to be way above for the Verbal, but barely in/just below for the math. Ugh. [rhetorical]Why are math and science lumped together?![/rhetorical]</p>
