<p>Take them again. Mine went up 200 points the second time. I had a bad testing day and the second time better represented my abilities.</p>

<p>My SAT scores sucked after two tries and too much money spent on help books. But then again, there's no harm in retaking them, unless you retake them obsessively. My scores shot up 180 points the second time around, but even with that I barely met the lower end of the applicant cool. Don't stress about the whole SAT thing. That's not the only factor in your acceptance.</p>
