<p>Hey just wondering, Ashraf, are you already in college?</p>
<p>I would say that it depends largely upon your college aspirations, and your surety of improvement, but then again I might not be the best source of adive, given my own "should I retake" thread...</p>
<p>Wait, if you took the SAT freshman year, then it counts as an official "take" to colleges?
Oh crap...</p>
<p>^yup.. 10 char</p>
<p>I'm not in college, but I've gone on several college visits. And I made sure to ask that question specifically. No college "averages" (the horror-myth) and most simply just look at your best scores in each section (although some look at best single-sitting). To them, the number of times you've taken it doesn't matter. </p>
<p>If you had this score progression: </p>
<p>1560 -> 1720 -> 1990 -> 2170 -> 2390</p>
<p>It'd look no worse than:
2380->2390</p>
<p>My score progression was 1890 -> 1950 -> 2090 -> 2180.</p>
<p>Well, yeah, I was just giving an example. I think if you took it again and scored, say, a 2250 or a 2300, your chances at the schools you mentioned in the other thread would go up quite a bit.</p>
