<p>I would forget the SAT and focus on trying to get another point on the ACT, but your ACT is already pretty good. GREAT WORK ON THE SATIIs, although you might want to pick up another exam because some of the elite schools, including Princeton won’t be impressed that you got an 800 on Chinese…Good luck!</p>

<p>ahh…but i heard that they look at SAT more even though all colleges say they look at both. i’ll be taking SAT physics and hopefully will do good on it. thanks for your comments!</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to worry about your SAT IIs (Math 2 and Chemistry is good already). Retake the ACT in September and maybe the SAT in October.</p>
