<p>So the first time I took the SAT, I got a 2180, with this breakdown:</p>
<p>CR: 780
M: 690
W: 710</p>
<p>The second time, it was a 2200, with this breakdown:</p>
<p>CR: 730
M: 670
W: 800</p>
<p>I was wondering which set of scores is better? Obviously the second is higher, but the writing can be less important, and the CR/M for the second is 70 points lower....</p>
<p>you could. but if they ask for one give 1st. for example harvard takes the best scores(in each individual portions) from all the tests you have taken while caltech chooses the test which is overall the best.</p>
