Never thought I'd be the one asking this obnoxious question, but...?

Test Preparation

<p>I basically want your opinion on if I should take the SAT again - </p>

<p>I've taken the SAT twice:</p>

<p>5/4/13 (Sophomore year, no prep #lazy) - 2140
M: 630 CR: 770 W:740</p>

<p>11/2/13 (Junior, some math prep :D) - 2270
M: 770 (have no idea how that leap happened haha) CR: 740 W: 760</p>

<p>Superscored, I have a 2300 (M:770, CR:770, W:760). Even though I'm thrilled with my total scores, to be honest, I'm pretty disappointed in my CR and W scores. I got an 80 on the Writing section of the PSAT both this year and last year, so I know I'm capable of more than a 760... Even for CR, I usually scored better than 770 on practice tests. Haha, I know this sounds really obnoxious and really first world problem-y, but I really don't know if I should retake it... I'm really only considering it to bump my superscored from a 2300 to a 2300+.</p>

<p>So my basic question is, should I retake the SAT for a third time to raise my W and CR scores? I'm pretty sure I'll be able to raise them (although at this point, it's a matter of missing one or two questions :/), but at the same time, I don't think I can manage a 770 in Math again. That was an honest-to-God miracle hahaha; I wasn't expecting more than a 700.
I'm shooting for Ivy League schools, if that affects your answer.
TL;DR - Should I take the SAT one more time to raise score from 2270, potentially improving my W and CR scores, but taking into account the fact that M might drop?</p>

<p>Definitely not. Your scores are superb as well as balanced. In my eyes taking it a third time looks worse than any slight score improvement would help. (Just got into Yale having taken it twice with essentially the exact same scores)</p>

3

<p>No. It’s good enough.</p>

<p>@Jazzed, thank you so much! Yale is the dream, haha <3 Any words of wisdom?
@wasatchwriter thank you :)</p>

<p>“Definitely not. Your scores are superb as well as balanced. In my eyes taking it a third time looks worse than any slight score improvement would help. (Just got into Yale having taken it twice with essentially the exact same scores)”</p>

<p>You ever heard of this thing called score choice? No harm in taking it again.</p>

<p>In my opinion there is no logical reason to blow some more money taking the score again. Unless you’re looking for perfect 800s, chances are you won’t do much better. i would spend the time and money doing anything.</p>

<p>As my DD2 told me, why would I want to ruin a perfectly good Saturday morning to retake a perfectly good test score. Sleep in.</p>

9

<p>Good enough.
if any section is above 750, scores won’t affect ur acceptance</p>

10

<p>No. Even without superscoring, your 2270 makes you competitive at every undergraduate institution regardless of race/gender (with regards to test scores). Congrats and focus on other things.</p>

<p>@BassGuitar if Yale is the dream for OP then it might be relevant to know that it (as well as many other schools he/she might be shooting for) does not accept score choice.</p>
