<p>I'm not going to retake my SAT's, I'm just wondering if you guys think my retaking the test was worth it. Seventy points.. is it worth it?</p>
<p>First try: 2190 (75 math, 76 writing, 68 CR)
2nd: 2260 (74 math, 79 wr, 73 cr)</p>
<p>just want some opinions thats all. AP's and SATII's are over so i have a lot of time on my hands :)</p>
<p>its worth it.
anything >50 pts is worth it.</p>
<p>YES. 70 points is definitely worth it.</p>
<p>All scores are now in the 700s, so yeah - worth it.</p>
<p>^ agreed...</p>
<p>i know i'll sound pretty whiney
but i kind of expected better scores both times
for the math and critical reading sections anyway :/</p>
<p>i was kind of disappointed that my highest score was writing, which is not as "important" in my opinion</p>
<p>Retake for a 2300+ score. C'mon, you KNOW you want to.</p>
<p>are you trying to be mean? </p>
<p>No, i really don't actually</p>
<p>SAT's gave me major stress... simply not worth it</p>
<p>Oh, no, I'm not trying to be mean at all. I just think you have the ability to pull a 2300...</p>
<p>Oh. Thanks i guess. I just don't feel like it's necessary. Do you think it's necessary. I mean, I guess I'm shooting for Stanford, since my SAT is around the 2250 area.</p>
<p>People say once you hit a certain range (>2250), the reason that you won't be accepted at HYPS will not be because of your "low" SAT score.</p>
<p>How many of you would retake for a 2300, honestly?</p>
<p>That is a great score and those that act like it isn't are stupid.</p>
<p>And since Stanford superscores you effectively raised your score by 90 points to 2280. Looks like a good choice to me.</p>
<p>Please stop bragging. It's obvious that you know it's worth it; if you are intelligent enough to get that high a score, you should be smart enough to tell that this looks like bragging.</p>
<p>Wow, i totally did not intend to come off as arrogant, i'm sorry! There are THOUSANDS of people with higher scores, why would I brag?</p>
<p>I was actually wondering where exactly the "threshold" SAT score lies - people claim that once past a certain point, additional points do not help your application much. Like, it's more worthwhile to focus on other activities.</p>
<p>^ I would go for. However, once you are above 2300, you should stop and focus on other things.</p>
<p>seriously? u would retake for 40 more points
u do realize thats like 2 more questions....</p>
<p>yea but 2300 does it look good.
I got a 2200 first time (750 r, 670 math, 780 w)
Second time got a 2230 (800 r, 630 math, 800 w)
So super scored 2270. And even though I am not retaking...I still regret that I didn't get my 700 in math, my main goal in retaking. In the end though I think for both of us the extra 30-40 points won't be the thing that gets us rejected from a school, so at least for me I am done stressing over SATS.</p>
<p>i agree with you bescraze, like your whole 2300 looks better, but i'm done stressing over SAT's.</p>
<p>AMEN.</p>
<p>i'm SO GLAD i don't have to go through that asfjkl; again</p>
<p>its all psychological. Anything 2250+ is going to put you in the ballgame at ANY school.
don't retake it. Not worth the time effort or money. You would just be fueling the collegeboard machine!</p>
