Direct-admit CS programs often care more about Math (and sometimes Science or STEM) than about a rounded Composite. Look up the college's CS or engineering page—not only the university middle 50%.
Math first
A 32 Composite with a 26 Math is a weaker CS file than a 30 with a 33 Math. Raise Math if it is the floor. STEM reporting: the STEM score.
Science is a maybe
Sit optional Science if the college or the college of engineering still reads it. Engineering and Science. Public-flagship context: public university scores.
The bottom line
Build the CS target from Math, then Composite. Do not skip Science only to protect a number nobody in that college will prefer over a missing STEM score they still want.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
