ACT/SAT... what's good enough... should I retake?

<p>I got a 2270 SAT (740 R,790 M, 740 W). When I took this test, I zoned out on the third reading section I got...
Also, I missed only 1 writing question... I just zoned out on the essay and got a 7...
And I don't know how I didn't get 800 math... that was saddening.</p>

<p>So, I was planning on retaking it, almost assured of significant improvement. Then I got a perfect ACT score...</p>

<p>My question is:
Is it still worth retaking (pros: almost guaranteed better score; cons: stress) or not (pros: no stress; cons: no better score) if I'm going to shoot for HPS? Would two perfect scores look that much better on an app?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>2 perfect scores does not look any better than 1. Stick with your 36; if a college asks for ALL scores, well, a 2270 on the SAT can only help you anyways. It is definitely NOT worth retaking.</p>

<p>I would definitely not retake. A 2270 is a very, very good score by itself, but a 36 ACT is perfect. Having two perfect scores probably will do nothing more than one, except give you more stress that is essentially unneeded. </p>

<p>Good luck and congrats on those amazing scores! :)</p>

<p>Keep the 36 and be really happy with it! The chances of you getting a 2400 are still slim, even with a great retake, so revel in that 36!</p>
