<p>Actually it's believable that more people get 800's on CR than Math, since you can usually get 2-3 wrong and get an 800 for CR, while you can get at most 1 wrong for Math.</p>
<p>I may not have reached 2300.. but I wouldn't trade my current score for a 750 Math/750 CR/800 Writing.</p>
<p>As I go through that site in more detail, here's what I see:</p>
<p>760-800 CR is a 99th percentile score. . . meaning that 1% of people, combined, get scores of 760-800.</p>
<p>770-800 M is a 99th percentile score. . . meaning, again, that 1% of people, combined, get scores of 770-800.</p>
<p>There's no breakdown provided for the very top scores of math and critical reading. However, if you get a 760/760, you're still in the top 1% of everybody who takes the reading test, but you're no longer in the top 1% of everybody who takes the math test. . . meaning that more people get perfect or close-to-perfect scores on the math test. </p>
<p>That doesn't prove much, but it's at least consistent with what I wrote earlier.</p>

<p>I think you're in great shape, really. If you studied that much I wouldn't retake it because your score is probably not going to go up much (unless you study the math a lot more, which is probably not worth your time). SAT studying shows a lot of diminishing returns: the second test, you often see a big bump up, but the more practice you do, the less improvement you can expect from each individual test.</p>
<p>I should clarify my advice: I don't think it's worth <em>studying hard</em> to raise a 2300. (I do think it's worth 4 hours one morning to re-take the test if you have some reason to expect your score to go up after little additional preparation, but that's not you, so you can relax. :) ). </p>
<p>Looks like you're a humanities person, maybe a serious reader?? Think about developing those qualities. If you want to do anything else SAT-ish, consider more SAT IIs, but I think you should be done with the SAT I. </p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>I think a lot of it depends on how much you're likely to improve. If you, say, got the 2300 in middle school, you'd probably get a 2400 if you took it again. Plus retaking it isn't a big deal since you'd already have a 2300 and wouldn't have to worry about it.</p>
<p>This person I know got a 2350 first try, then retook it to prove he didn't cheat or anything and got a 2400.</p>
<p>I know a person who got a 1600 in their 9th grade, then retook it junior year and got a 2400.</p>
<p>Can anyone beat that 0wnage?</p>
<p>I know a person who took the SAT and got an ~1700 in the beginning of 11th grade. His counselor told him to start looking into community colleges (ok, exaggerating). He took it again and got a 2300+ (I think 2320). PWNED?</p>
<p>Then your counselor is stupid. A 1700 means you're going to a community college? ROFL</p>
