[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do colleges ook at the score breakdowns for each test or just the score totals? My DC took November and got good scores, but did not miss many problems at all...(9 math problems and 12 verbal). If DC took it again and missed the same # the overall scores may be different? [/quote] Colleges only look at the section scores (out of 800) and/or composite (section scores added together, out of 1600). They do not look at the # wrong. Each test has its own predetermined scoring scale (sometimes called a "curve" although it isn't a curve like one might have for an ordinary school test). The scoring scale is based on the relative difficulty of the test and involves a complicated process called equating.[/quote]
