<p>Ben Jones has made similar statements several times. One instance I found in a quick search of his admissions blog is here:

<p>I wouldn't say that one is more important than the other, but since you have a 710 on your SATII (which is a totally fine score) I would try to get your SATI Math over 700 as well if you can. There is no need to retake the SATII.
