<p>So, I took the SAT for the first time in May and got a 2170 (750 CR, 720 M, 700 W). At first, I thought this was a good score, but then upon further CC and common data set research I realized it wasn't going to cut it for top schools.
The test deadline for the October 5th test has passed, and that date wouldn't leave me much time to study anyway.
My question is, if I take it on November 2nd, will colleges receive my scores in time? (I am not applying EA or ED anywhere.)
Also, is the curve on the November test harsher than on the May test?
Thanks so much!!</p>
<p>For EA or ED, it may be too late depending on school. It would be perfectly fine for RD. Curves does not matter as it just adjust to make all test dates comparable.</p>
