Super score is 2290

Should i retake SAT please advise. I would like to get into Harvey mudd or Berkeley is this a good enough score?

No. Be aware that Berkeley doesn’t superscore but your 2230 is at the 75th percentile, so you should be fine. Please tell me how you got a 12 essay, as I’m seemingly stuck at a 9 (but perfect writing mc).

i got a 8 on essay the first time and really didn’t prepare for it. The second time around I prepared 5 to 6 topics that i could use no matter what the prompt was. Created a standardized script for introduction, transition and conclusion for the essay. The most important thing is to completely fill up the provided space in the SAT. Good luck!
