<p>Hey guys. I took the October 2014 international SAT and got 2310 on it (800 CR, 800 Writing, 710 Math). The curve looks pretty brutal and my result was due to (I think) three mistakes in the math section. I plan to apply to economics/entrepreneurship/business-related fields at top colleges including some Ivies, UChicago, Stanford, etc. I'm worried that the 710 will make colleges think that I'm a lopsided student (I'll take Math Level II in November, so I don't know whether that score will be good or not). Do you think I should retake the SAT to raise my math score before I apply to colleges? By the way, I'm a white student from a poorly-represented country in US colleges, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>First … congrats for ur score … keep it up … as for retaking … i see no problem with it … another test wouldn’t harm … since u want a mathematically based major … u will certainly need a better SAT 1 Math score … i don’t guess the Math Subject test is even required </p>
<p>I absolutely would not retake.</p>
<p>Go have fun on your Saturday (or go work on college apps!)</p>
<p>Don’t retake it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. Do you guys think it lowers my chances of being accepted to top colleges with a 710 in math, especially when it comes to something like economics in some of the colleges I’m applying to? Or is it simply not worth it?</p>
<p>@Lindisfarne Have you taken Math level 1 or 2 SAT Subject Test (or any math subject test)?</p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation with good writing and cr but low math on sat reasoning, but I got 800 on math 2, should I retake? </p>
<p>Karnier, I think with an 800 you definitely showed your ability in math, so you probably don’t need to. My problem is that I haven’t taken math level 2 yet, so it’s a risk for me.</p>
<p>I would retake it and hope the curve wasn’t brutal. Who know, you might cover those last 90 points. You haven’t got much to lose(other then the cash) since your score is a pretty good score to fall back on if the second test is worse. </p>
<p>Bump.</p>
<p>Alright, so I got a 780 Math Level 2 score. SAT worth retaking still or not?</p>
