SAT Scoring Question?

Question

Do colleges look at your overall score on the SAT? Because i heard from a friend that colleges only look for the reading and math scores added up (meaning it excludes the writing part). Is this true?

Answer 1

no...they'll see each individually as well as added up. BUT if you take the SAT multiple times they'll see your best individual scores on each section and add those up for a cumulative score.

For example, if you took the SATs once in october and you got:

Writing- 750

Reading- 720

Math- 780

2250

then you took it again and got:

Writing-760

Reading-750

Math-760

2270

you'd really get

Writing-760

Reading-750

Math-780

a 2290

Answer 2

no, they look at it divided in the 3 sections too

like they'll see what you got for math, what for english, and what for writing

Answer 3

yea
