<p>I just got my sat scores this morning (couldn't sleep all night), and was extremely dissapointed to find that I did worse the 2nd time around, when I've always heard that statistically people do better.I guess it's kind of embarassing to post my lame scores on a site full of over achievers that cry over there 2200s, but here I go. I took a prep class before taking the first sat and got (I think) 670/620/500, but this time, without a prep class, I got 630/580/550. The only thing that went up was my 500 in math and my essay score, which didn't help my writing score. I'm terrified of telling my mom, who is convinced that I need to get over a 2000. Also, I'm applying for colleges early action, so I don't see the point of taking the October SAT. CRAP WHAT DO I DO??? :(((((</p>
<p>Well if you super score them, you have 670/620/550 which isn’t terrible! It’s ok, I did worse one of my subject tests the second time around.</p>
<p>Most EA/ED schools will accept the October testing date but what is the likelihood of significant improvement on a third testing date? Despite hearing of all these SAT re-take score bumps, the College Board, with access to better data than anyone, and the financial incentive to encourage multiple test takers, does not say you should make significant progress with another repeated exam. You might want to try the ACT instead.</p>
<p>well, i think the main reason i didnt improve the way i wanted to was because i really didn’t prepare to the extent i did the first time (the first time i raised my score 200 points after the PSAT). my friend got her scores today and she went from a 2080 to 2340 without a prep class either (i felt really dumb).
i personally think that if i prepare a lot over the summer and get to the point when i’m getting near 800s on the practice sections that i’ll be good for october.</p>
<p>it doesn’t affect early action though right? i’d still have time?</p>
