Is this a good SAT score?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>CR - 680
Math - 800
Writing - 750</p>

<p>Total - 2230</p>

<p>These scores are really frustrating because if I had 20 more points in Critical Reading, I would have had 700 or more in all sections and I would have squeaked out a 2250. Very annoyed. Can anybody make any suggestions for me? </p>

<p>The January 2010 SAT was the first time I ever took the test. When should I take it next? What are some things I can improve on? </p>

<p>I know I'll never get as lucky as I did in the math section. Maybe I'll get luckier in writing. But that Critical Reading section is an anomaly.</p>

<p>Dude, don’t fret. I don’t know why you even made a thread for this. Obviously it’s a good SAT score.</p>

<p>If you think you can do better, then you should retake. A 680 in CR will hurt you somewhat if you’re applying to top-tier schools.</p>

<p>That being said, don’t fret too much over it. Remember that the SAT is only one part of the application. Getting a 680 doesn’t mean the death of your Ivy ambitions. A higher score would help, but don’t obsess over it.</p>

<p>What if I take it again, do better in CR, but do worse in Math? Will some schools deny me for focusing on one particular subject? Thanks for any advice.</p>

<p>The average ~1500. You did great. If you are aiming for top schools, retake and try to improve your CR.</p>
