<p>I suppose they aren't terrible, but since I'm gunning for Stanford, I'm kinda disapointed. Also, cause I'm an asian male this is gonna hurt. What do you make of it? Should I retest? (I'm thinking yeah.)</p>
<p>I was hoping for a 750v, 750w and a 730m. That would be if I got really lucky. My highest in a practice test was a 750v, 730w and a 730m.</p>
<p>I did pretty bad on my essay and I'm positive I can do better.</p>
<p>Also, I took a ton of practice tests, 7/8 in the blue book and a bunch in a Kaplan book.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>I think that taking the test for a third time might not be wise.</p>
<p>After taking it twice and having your score not change that much, it might be a waste of time. Your expectations are very high (Stanford), so if you want to try to do better, then go ahead. All I know though is that after taking it twice, an admissions rep who came to my school said, students generally don't improve.</p>
<p>Well, I'm just suprised I did so badly compared to my practice tests. At least 3 times I got all 3 scores over 700. What do you think? Should I focus on the ACT?</p>
<p>I think that you're the only one who can really decide. None of us will know your expectations and abilities better than you do. If you truly think that you can do significantly better, say 100 points total, then maybe take it again. Personally, I don't think that taking it a third time will be advantageous, but do what you want to. Or, try the ACT, but I'm not familiar with that.</p>
<p>I can actually refer to your point about Stanford, because I am also interested in applying early action. Since I am a white male, my goal was to be 75th percentile for the school, but I realized that I should base my success on realistic expectations from practice tests. I got a 2360 on the April SAT so I was happy with that. But regardless of what you want to get, the only way to tell if you should take it again is what you've been getting on practice tests. If you've been getting 2200s on practice, then definitely taking it again. However, if your actual score is around your practice scores, trying to raise it for a particular school might not be realistic.</p>
<p>It's all relative - based on how you think you could do.</p>
