I'm applying at GS for a program and they want to know my high school SAT score. I recently took the SAT when it was on the 2400 scale but if I just cut out that writing section, I'm back to the regular 1600 point scale. On my resume, should I write down just the reading and math sections (1600 pt scale) or should i include the all new writing section (2400 scale)
thanks guys

because your writing score is bad? i dont really know the answer but if your writing score is solid i dont see any reason not to list it
if you have a great overall score i would put my total and the break down Example:
SAT 2400 Math 800 Verb etc...
if you dont have a great overall score i would just put
SAT your math+verb /1600 or you can even break that down if you wanted to
no my writing score isnt bad, i'm just not sure if those who are looking at these interviews are yet akin with the new 2400 scale since my high school class was the first to take the sat on this new scale
I would probably go with the old scale, since I doubt recruiters are that familiar with the new one. Besides, I doubt the writing section is that important to recruiters.
i would think recruiters would be aware of changes in the SAT scoring system, plus you won't be the only person sending in resumes on a 2400 scale. listing your score on a 1600 scale might make them question your writing score, which is gonna be most people's first reaction.
You would be surprised (of course unless they have kids). Anyways, people will get the picture after they see it for the first time. Just put a breakdown if your Math Score > 700.
just put the breakdown so there is no confusion
SAT: 2400 (800M, 800V, 800W)
