<p>I've taken the SAT twice. My best scores are:
Critical Reading: 720
Math: 650
Writing: 790
= 2 1 6 0
Math has always been my Achilles heel. Is it worth taking the SAT another time to try to improve these scores or should I give the ACT a try?</p>
<p>What colleges are you looking at? Did you improve much the 2nd time you took it?</p>
<p>Im interested in small liberal arts colleges, namely Davidson, Washington and Lee, Wake Forest. I may also apply to one Ivy and a bigger public school, like UVA. </p>
<p>My SAT scores went down the second time, with the exception of Writing.</p>
<p>Speaking honestly–how thorough was your preparation? If you studied diligently and effectively, then your current score might be a feasible max. If not, well…</p>
<p>Have you taken the ACT? if not you should do some practice tests to see how you do. </p>
<p>I think you would have a better chance at all of those schools you named if your CR + M was over 1400 on the SAT. I won’t hurt to try it one more time in October, but do all the math problem you can between now and then.</p>
