<p>Who adcoms be impressed by a huge SAT increase (600+) and a huge ACT increase (10+ points) in a retake? Dont assume I did poorly on the exams, because I didnt. This is just a hypothetical situation which my friend is likely to fall into. Thanks.</p>

<p>They will just take the higher score. After all, it is just one test taken on one day.</p>

<p>good luck to your friend on bring her/his score by 600 points. </p>

<p>wow. from a 1800 to 2400? impressive impressive.</p>

4

<p>Any improvement is good. 600 points is excellent.</p>

5

<p>The OP never explicitly said it was from an 1800 to 2400. Nonetheless, a 600 point increase is amazing.</p>

6

<p>Yes, it VERY likely based on his consistent scores on the Blue book. Do you think it is a hook in a way?</p>

7

<p>No. I don't think it is a hook.</p>

8

<p>james didn't you get a 2270 or something?</p>

9

<p>Yes, I did. I am talking about my friend's situation, if you read my original post.</p>

<p>Maybe he was just asking, JamesN. No need to get defensive. :p</p>

11

<p>I was not, just trying to clear confusion. LOL, whaever.</p>

12

<p>Yeah that didn't sound defensive at all, haha.</p>

<p>I think they'll just take the higher score and evaluate him based on his higher score. That's it.</p>
