<p>i dropped from 2220 to 2070... i feel sick.</p>
<p>should i retake in December? or will colleges just look at my highest score? </p>
<p>i did well the first time, poor the second time. will they assume that my high score was a fluke?</p>
<p>or maybe your second score was a fluke!</p>
<p>take it easy! i don't know much about the American application process, but i'm fairly sure they'll take your highest into consideration. Nerves probably got the better of you.</p>
<p><em>hug</em></p>
<p>my writing score was a hundred points lower than either of my other scores and supposedly its the easiest to improve on so i'm retaking in december</p>
<p>for me, it was the CR that singlehandedly did me in. everything else just dropped a little, but CR dropped nearly 100 points. </p>
<p>i just got off the phone with a couple colleges, and they all assured me that my lower scores don't matter and told me not to worry. i dunno.</p>
<p>lol you call that failing.....you people sicken me</p>
<p>^Well he did go from a 2220 to a 2070. That is a huge ball buster...
I mean, imagine if you got a 2220 and then retook the SAT expecting to score better and ended up doing -150 points.</p>
<p>If your colleges are fine with it, you don't have anything to worry about. :)
2070 is still a good score you know.</p>
<p>blug8orade, did you feel like you did worse, or better?</p>
<p>i wanna take it in december too (third time), but im reluctant cuz i heard they average your SAT scores together..or something..notsure</p>
<p>Heck yeah! My score dropped by 30 points (which is depressing because my first score was already low). Math up by 10 points; CR stayed the same (better than dropping I guess); Writing...ARGH! I hated that essay prompt.</p>
<p>December's my last chance. I should study this time.</p>

exactly. i'm not one of those "omgz i have to get a 2400" types... but here i was feeling all confident with a 2220, and i was hoping to maybe raise everything above 750. instead, i end up with the complete opposite. i was floored for a good minute when i saw my scores.</p>
<p>i'm actually sick of the SAT, i don't think i want to take it again.</p>
<p>my reading went up 70 points somehow even though i thought i maxed out
math went up 20 which is super gay
then writing dropped 30 and that can suck my balls</p>
<p>Well.... My Reading score dropped by 90 points (from an 800 the previous time), and math dropped 40 points (from 770 the previous time), but an a small side note, writing went up to 740 (from 690 last time)... </p>
<p>Overall dropped by 80 points, but still superscores (allegedly) to 2310, so I'm pretty ****ed off but not putting a Smith-Wesson 686 into my mouth.</p>
<p>To your original question, I am never taking the SAT again. I am giving away my books to juniors and bonfiring the rest.</p>
