<p>This is my second time taking the SATs; my first was in January. But I've been so swamped with school work and college applications that I think I actually did worse... Oh the feeling of impending doom! I can't stand it haha. Maybe I should go cancel my scores...</p>
<p>Anyone else in this position?</p>
<p>I took it today too, and maybe it's just me, but I thought I fared a little bit better.</p>
<p>Don't worry, though. I thought I did atrociously bad on my first one because I had no time to prepare due to work, school, and soccer. I didn't do too badly, though, and the only reason I'm taking it again is because it's required in my school to graduate.</p>
<p>Don't cancel scores yet unless you think you did SUPER terrible. I'm sure you're fine, though :-)</p>
<p>Ponder this: If you do better on the first take, and then worse on the second, are your original scores somewhat "invalidated"? I feel as if doing worse shows that the first scores were luck, or something. I mean, if the scores really differ.</p>
<p>I also took them in january and i took them last may and canceled them because i felt i didn't do any better. but i only canceled my scores because i knew i'd have another chance to up my scores in the fall (oct 6), but assuming you're a senior you may not have another chance to take them so i wouldn't cancel. you've only taken them once, so colleges will still take the highest of your verbal/math/writing scores, so what's the harm?</p>
