<p>hey guys, im a high school senior and this is what happened:
i decided to take sat last year in december and dint go through any books or anything and thought that it was bs and easy (im international btw) so i dint study AT ALL.
when i gave sat i realized how stupid id been and got a mere 1930.
math- 720
cr- 610
writing- 600</p>

<p>i decided to work for my next sat and get a 700+ in all 3 sections.
i gave it in june and got a 2280! waaay more than i expected but anyway.
math-770 (just 1 omit !!! i hate the curve !)
cr- 770 (does this look good coz most asians i know got like 650-680)
writing - 740</p>

<p>does this 350 point improvement look good coz the average increase is like 40-50 points or does my original score make it look bad ? </p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>350 point improvement will look good, especially because you’re now in range for Penn compared to the sub 2000 score. I doubt Penn or any other college will over analyze your SAT jump. There are a million reasons why two sections could jump 100+ points in six months.</p>

<p>Yeah, many people expect the first sitting to be the worse (or worst) of the test takings. Your 2280 is good [that’s what I got]; you can rest assured your score is competitive.</p>

<p>especially as an international, they won’t pay attention to your first attempt. you got a 2280 and that’s that.</p>

<p>usually colleges care about your highest score.</p>
