<p>Do all/most colleges do this? Do they completely disregard the lower sections, as in even if someone purposely skips it and gets a 200 or whatever the lowest possible score is, it doesn't even show up for the adcom (as in, the secretary or whoever inputs the score into the computer sees it but not the actual adcoms)? Does this mean that it is a valid strategy to retake the tests for specific sections and basically use the unneeded sections as a break (especially since it is a 4 hr test)?</p>
<p>Colleges will use the top scores in each section as the SAT scores they use to make their decision, but they will see your low scores as well. I mean, do you think it'll be smart to just not do the math section because you already got a 730 or so? Colleges will take that into account.</p>
<p>The thing is that test fatigue is killing me right now. I find myself losing my concentration and my will to live after three sections...how badly does this look to colleges?</p>
<p>they look at it along with gpa ....</p>
<p>it's about 25% on the college app so i think? depends on the college you apply to. where i'm appliying to , the UC's it's close to 30%, GPA is like 50%.</p>
<p>The UCs use your highest single sitting. No mix-n-match.</p>
<p>Its probably all a myth. Another rumor that CB spreads to abate student "stress levels" and whatnot. Whether superscoring is real or not, its always smart to do your best on every test</p>
<p>No; I've seen it in admissions books written by admissions deans.</p>
