How important is the writing section?

<p>I'm asking because I'm not sure if I should retake again; in October, I got a 2270:</p>

<p>800 M
760 CR
710 Writing (11) </p>

<p>and I'm pretty sure I want to take it again just because I know I'm not that bad at the writing MC. ( 68/80 DD: ) But if Writing doesn't even count for much (1560/1600), I don't know. </p>

<p>Any help here?</p>

<p>these are good scores. apply on these unless you have your sights set on something like HYMPS. in that case, a retake won't hurt. were these scores from your first sitting btw?</p>

<p>Yeah, these are first sitting. With the score reporting policy, I just thought maybe it would be okay to take it again and maybe score higher on Writing.</p>

<p>writing isn't as important as math and reading (which a 1560 is a niiiice score, btw)</p>

<p>i wouldn't stress it too much.. maybe take it again just to see, but your scores are fine where they are (but like always, the higher the better)</p>
