<p>I got 1330 on SAT BUT I got 800 on math and 530 on verbal. I have a very good reason why I got a low verbal score. Do colleges see the whole SAT score or just the individual sections?</p>
<p>Can you have your guidance counselor write a letter explaining your low verbal score?</p>
<p>Yes he explained my verbal score. Will taking honors and APs in english and getting a high SAT writing score help?</p>
<p>If you have an explanation from your GC, plus good grades in challenging English courses and a high SAT writing score, I think it will help very much. They will look at the whole picture, not just one score. Just concentrate on getting good grades!</p>
<p>If you're talking about top schools, I just don't see it. Just look at how few MIT and CIT take with under 600CR, and that includes all of the brilliant ESL students.</p>
<p>why not just take it again, or have you?</p>
