January 2013 SAT Score Question!!!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello CC. Really need your advice in this scenario. I know there is a thread for January scores but this is a pretty specific question.</p>

<p>Here was my scoring break down: (first time taking the SAT)</p>

<p>2210</p>

<p>M: 750
W: 750
CR: 710</p>

<p>So, in the many, many practice tests I have done, I have never scored a 750 in math before. My 750 in writing was very high for me as well. However, my reading score could probably be boosted 30-40 points. Could it potentially hurt me were I to take the SAT again and score possibly lower in Math and Writing but boost my reading score? Or do colleges just look at the overall highest scores? Additionally, I am not a particularly strong math/science person- but is the ACT a worthwhile try as well? Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Check the schools you’re applying to. If they superscore, go for it. If they don’t, I wouldn’t bother.</p>

<p>I’m going through a very similar thing right now :frowning: I’m sticking with the SAT, though.</p>

4

<p>no don’t, it sounds like you got really lucky this time and all sat scores above 2200 are about the same if you have a better gpa than many people</p>

<p>Thanks guys for the responses! Definitely not going to take again.</p>
