<p>is it better to have higher math and verbal scores than writing?</p>
<p>if you combine my m and v, i got a 1510 (800m, 710v), but i only got 690w (even with an 11 on the essay, yeah im retarded)</p>
<p>so my question is, what will colleges look at? the old scale with the writing as an sat II or all 3 sections together??</p>
<p>It varies from college to college. Some will consider all three sections equally; others have said they will not consider the writing at all for the class of 2010.</p>
<p>You can never be sure. That's why I am retaking it despite 1540 (M+CR).</p>
<p>They are going to look at it in one of three ways:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Equal emphasis on all sections.</p></li>
<li><p>More emphasis on CR and Math- Less emphasis on Writing (some may look at it as an additional SAT II)</p></li>
<li><p>Emphasis only on CR and Math- Disregarding the Writing section completely. (though it will come in the score report and I doubt that any college would refuse to even glance at it)</p></li>
