2300, 2360 superscore...retake?

Test Preparation
1

<p>i just finished my second SAT test in March and I'm trying to decide if I should take it again.</p>

<p>January:
CR: 800, M: 710, W: 760</p>

<p>TOTAL: 2270</p>

<p>March:
CR: 740, M: 760, W: 800</p>

<p>TOTAL: 2300</p>

<p>SUPER SCORE: 800,760,800 = 2360</p>

<p>I'm happy with reading and writing but the thing is I want to major in engineering. So I am seriously disappointed with my math and I know I could probably do better. When looking back, I usually just make stupid mistakes. Should I retake it again just for the math, with the chance that my CR and W might drop?</p>

<p>I'm shooting for schools such as Harvey Mudd. Stanford, UC Berkeley, Pomona, and Rice.</p>

<p>just wondering, why?</p>

4

<p>Your scores are perfectly fine. Even if math is lower than what you may have wanted, its a perfectly good score.</p>

<p>i don’t think your 2300 is going to be a make or break point for admissions :)</p>

<p>Retake? No.</p>

<p>Instead, go get an 800 on the Math Level 2 subject test.</p>

7

<p>^good suggestion; the scale on the math part of the SAT is really harsh, so getting that 800 on the subject test will make up for it, no problem.</p>

8

<p>okay, thanks guys! I took the math 2 and got an 800, so hopefully that will be good. :)</p>

<p>it would be recommended to do a language too. if you are asian, I would take more non math/science sat IIs unless you have to, and take more language</p>

<p>No, come on man, the time and the effort to increase your score (unnecessary anyways) isn’t worth it anymore. 2300/2360 is good enough for any school in the nation. If you don’t get in, it wont be because your SAt was too low, it’ll be because other parts of your application were lacking.</p>

<p>What RADtomato said except,
*any school in the world.</p>

12

<p>“make up for” a 760? really?
this site is full of fools.</p>

13

<p>Why shouldn’t i take more math and science subject tests?</p>

<p>this is so good to hear, i want to be done with the SAT so badly!</p>

14

<p>Don’t take the SAT 3+ times if you’re aiming for schools that high and you’ve already got a good score. 2300/2360 is fine, yes I’m sure the math is disappointing but they will understand that it was dumb mistakes because of your 800 on math2.</p>

15

<p>Take Math 2 and one or more science subject tests instead</p>

16

<p>Take subject tests out of your interest. I took bio , math 2, chem, and us history.</p>

17

<p>Don’t waste your time reviewing. Do something else, get a job, internship, give more to your community. With a 2360, you’re in good shape.</p>

18

<p>For top schools, they usually stop looking at your scores once you reach a certain threshold.
For an engineering major I would say thats around 750. You should look into Math level 1 & 2 as well as chemistry and physics.</p>
