<p>Okay, to clarify, I NEVER mentioned my first time score, I got a 2390 the SECOND time I took it. I did not score very well the first time I took it. If I had gotten over 2300 the first time I took it, I would not have retaken the test.</p>
<p>And it really annoys me when people assume that those who do well on the SATs study hundreds of hours and have no life. I actually did not study that much more between my 1st and 2nd takes. The 1st time, I was nervous and made a bunch of careless mistakes and scored a whole lot less than what I was getting on practice tests at home, which was why I retook it.</p>
