I need to know my composite SAT score for a scholarship application.
My scores are:
Critical Reading: 660
Math: 650
Writing: 620
I've heard that the composite is all three scores, and also that it's only the critical reading and math. (For instance, on one college app it lists my composite as 1310, not 1930). Can anyone lead me to a site or to someone who knows with absolutely certainty?

Simply adding:
Critical Reading + Math + Writing = SAT Score
Yours is:
660 + 650 + 620 = 1930
Your composite score is just the entire score together. Usually colleges will ask for each section score separately, but, of course, some colleges will ask for different, more specific, scores.
Your SAT composite score is simply just made up of the three basic scores (Critical Reading, Math, and Writing), each ranging between 200 and 800. You add these three scores together to get a score between 600 and 2400.
The multiple choice score is a number between 20 and 80, and your essay score is between 0 and 12, but these numbers are not added into the basic equation to formulate your SAT composite score. These numbers are just provided to give you more information about your performance on the test, actually, and are typically not required to be disclosed to any college, university, or educational institute. Essentially, they are meaningless if you have no desire to improve. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
