On my first SAT, I scored a 700 reading and 500 math. On my second SAT, I scored a 500 reading and 700 math.

Will colleges consider my highest score a 1200 or a 1400? In other words, will colleges combine my highest reading and math score, even if they are on different SATs?

**It depends on the school.** Many colleges do [superscore](https://blog.prepscholar.com/what-is-sat-superscore-how-does-it-help), or take your highest scores from multiple testings on, the SAT, which means that they would consider your highest score to be a 1400.
