Do You Add The Sat Test Scores Together?
Are you suppose to add your Reading, Writing, and Math Scores together to find your score

Ahh! I just took it this morning….. again *sigh*
It depends on who’s asking
I live in California, so basically two options for me are UC’s and CSU’s. UC’s ask for all 3 scores independently (math, reading, and writing) as well as a combination score. CSU’s ask for only the reading and math scores in their application They direguard the writing score for some reason, but then they also ask for you to add them together.
Nowadays, when someone asks your score, you combine all three sections of the test
example:
680 math
600 writing
600 reading
= 1880
if you answered with just the math and reading sections, (which would be 1280 in this case) people might think you got a much lower score than you earned.
good luck!
actually to the first poster…1600 is far from perfect..you must be older ….they added writing…
but to the OP yes you add them to find the total score or composite but the colleges see each subscore as well
There are only TWO sections to the SAT’s of which I’m aware – VERBAL and MATH – each counting 800 points for a perfect score. Adding the two sections together gives a perfect score of 1600.
