Which SAT score to submit?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, so I decided to try this forum as all my questions and answers are always found here lol.
I'm applying for UCs this year, and I think their policy is best sat score total from one sitting. I have two scores:
math-800
cr-670
writing-660 essay 8
total-2130
m-700
cr-710
w-680 essay 8
total-2090
I expected to do worse but in writing cause i wrote answers in the wrong column. Never though I'd drop 100 points in anything though, especially math.
But anyways, which score would be better to submit? Or do I send both? Will UCs see both of them?</p>

<p>the first one of course?
Can you tell me if I’m doing this right? I purchased the blue SAT book and I’m taking the practice exams every weekend. Took about 3 by now.</p>

<p>Moreover, if I were you, I’d turn in the scores that have the higher sum (Math + CR)</p>

<p>Well, yes that makes sense. But when you look at individual scores, wouldn’t the cr and writing scores be too low? I’m just worried that my seemingly defecit in English may be a turnoff.
Practice exams are good. I never had the time to take full length ones, so usually I’d just do the essay and last few sections. Have you taken the test before? What’s your (expected) score?</p>

<p>I personally like your 1st one better.But if you are so worried, why don’t you turn in both?
My expected score would be around 1800 :confused: I’m not a good test taker.</p>

<p>Can you superscore it?</p>

<p>I wish; UC policy is your brst total from one sitting though I might send both and see what happens.
@tkdtn, what’s your best sat subject and grade level? Right now I can’t really help you because an 1800 is different in different situations.</p>

<p>The UC system requires all scores to be sent in, but they will only consider the highest. I recently visited UCLA, where I was told that they do not superscore, because they consider it unfair.</p>

<p>How do you superscore it?</p>

<p>A superscore takes the highest subscore you got on each section, regardless of the test date, and adds them together. Example if you took the SAT three times, your superscore would be:
SAT First Sitting- CR 700, W 720, M 680. Composite 2100.
SAT Second Sitting - CR 670, W 700, M 750. Composite 2120.
SAT Third Sitting - CR 750, W 700, M 720. Composite 2170. </p>

<p>Superscore: CR 750 from third sitting, W 720 from first sitting, and M 750 from second sitting. Superscore composite is 2220. </p>

<p>Research which schools do and don’t superscore. Many don’t because it allows students to focus on one section per test, to maximize a single score instead of doing the test as a whole.</p>

<p>ahh that’s really cool! didn’t know about them.</p>
