January SAT Score..shocked!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi guys, I just checked the collegeboard.com to see my JAN SAT Score.
Here's the score...:
CR 430
MT 530
WR 520</p>

<p>I was expecting to do a little better on Math and Critical Reading..
This is my first SAT, and I don't know when to take next one.
Is it a wise decision to take it in June? or should I just go to community college and transfer? The reason why I'm shocked is because the schools I want to apply are quite competitive (UVA, Villanova, Syracuse, Temple, etc.). My UW GPA is 3.3 and Weighted is 3.500. I have high EC activities, and good connections with teachers. What should I do?</p>

<p>Is it dumb to just go to comm. college? I really have no answer for myself at this point... And also, how should I prepare myself for next SAT?</p>

<p>hey it happens, I don’t think it’s dumb to go to comm colleges, I know lots of kids who went to that route. I say one more in June, then over the summer, take a Princeton Review class on SAT Prep, I did that and it helped me a lotttt. Then after the class take one more time at September. Or not take it at June and just take the class during summer and take it on September and October.</p>

<p>You can always go to the ACT route, lots of kids who arent getting good scores in SAT get good scores in ACT.</p>

<p>What I found helpful was just taking practice tests from the Blue Book and ALWAYS do the SAT Question of the Day and UNDERSTAND why the answer is what it is.</p>
