34 ACT vs. 2190 SAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>I need to decide whether or not to retake the ACT and/or SAT... Opinions?</p>

<p>For the SAT the first time, I did no prep. Second time, I took a one-week prep class. The only prep I did for the ACT was take 2 practice tests, so I feel like with a bit more prep I could do better? But do I even need to? I'm looking at colleges like Boston College, Bucknell, Wake Forest, William & Mary, Duke, and reaching for Princeton. </p>

<p>Another issue is that because I got an 800 writing for the SAT, my score out of 1600 is only a 1390 which I don't really think reflects my overall score very well. </p>

<p>SAT- first time taking 2020
Writing: 690
Reading:650
Math: 680</p>

<p>SAT- second time 2190
Writing: 800
Reading: 700
Math: 690</p>

<p>ACT: 34 Composite
Reading: 33
Writing: 34
Science: 34
Math: 35</p>

<p>It hasn’t come in yet, but I’d say between 8-10. Is a 34 good enough for those colleges though and is it likely that if I retook it, my score would go up?</p>

5

<p>Yupp, definitely good enough… Once you hit the 34 mark, there’s no point in retaking.</p>

<p>34 is great, good job. You’re good for all those schools except Princeton and duke, which reject 36’s</p>
