My daughter and all of her friends got higher scores the second time they took it. Most of them did nothing to prep for it the second time. My daughter and her best friend both got 29s and then got 31s the next time they took it. My daughter did work her way through a practice book over the summer since she was taking it in September. A 31 was enough to get her into the schools she wanted and to be awarded their highest merit awards. If she would have had one more point on any section she would have been able to round up to a 32. I have to wonder if she had done more test prep if she could have gotten the 32 or 33. My daughter thought the biggest thing she did to raise her math score was just to complete her junior year. You got a very good first score, so I wouldn’t view it as disappointing. Just view it as your first score.
