<p>well, the 40 $ are non refundable so just go to the test but don't send your scores to colleges until they come out (if they are lower then keep them to yourself.)</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>Nice question. Sorry if I sound offensive, but I really mean it. On the other hand, good job and seriously concentrate on others instead of trying to raise a prefect score.</p>
<p>I believe him; the kids from AAST are monsters.
Anyways, I really recommend not taking it. I know a kid who retook a 2370 to get the 2400, and that was just stupid. If you had gotten a 2290 or a 2280, then maybe. But a 2350 is a different story.</p>
<p>don't retake. a 2350 compared to a 2400 is not statistically significant by any means. even a 2400 against a 2250 won't help very greatly since scores above that point are basically the same b/c of the sheer variability.</p>
<p>good lord. congradulations! </p>
<p>if you think you can do better, and the money/time block isn't an issue, go ahead and do it again. but those are great scores, so unless the schools your sending them to are incredably competetive, i wouldn't think it's totally necessary.</p>
<p>I actually sympathize because I got a 2370 (770 Math) and I really want to retake because a friend got a 2400. ;) He did it on retake (his 5th time, 2nd on the new test) and his last take was 2200... so I figured it's not fair that I'm stuck with a "lower" score on my application if I got 2370 my first try, right?</p>
<p>And then I catch myself, and think, wait, I'll just look like a fool. And, I realize now, so would you. :P</p>
<p>You should learn to be happy for who you are without comparing yourself to others.
I thought twice before opening this thread, but I think the responses were so great, it was definitely worth reading!!</p>

You hate the person WHO made this.</p>
<p>Sorry!</p>
<p>Actually, "that" is grammatically acceptable when describing a person. </p>
<p>And I know a girl who wants to retake a 2390.</p>
<p>****ing showoff.</p>
<p>In general, if you get above a 2250 or if all of your scores are 720+, there isn't any real good reason to retake. Even if you are going to a magnet school.</p>
<p>In fact, since you ARE going to a magnet school, you likely have a much better chance at getting into top colleges. I'm sure they know all about you guys, and are dying to get their hands on the top 10% of your class!</p>
<p>But even if you aren't in the top 10%, your scores won't make a difference. Since it's obvious you are qualified for Ivies (I'm assuming you've gotten good grades, and by that I mean A's and a few B's) what will make the biggest difference between acceptance and rejection is your personality, your extracurriculaars, and your life, and not your SAT scores.</p>
<p>I suggest you retake it. 2350 is a good score, but it is better if it is higher.</p>
<p>If you can get a 2350 on the SATs, you're smart to figure it out yourself</p>
<p>If you're really asking this, you're lucky to get that score. Be grateful.</p>
<p>dude, a 2350 vs a 2400 is more or less luck...it's a few questions...unless you're absolutely sure you're going to get a perfect (which I doubt), then don't retake it, you'll look like an ass.</p>
<p>Congrats! That's an excellent score!</p>
