Question about Retaking the SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took the SAT for the first official time on the Jan 24 date and I received my score morning of Feb 12. However, I had registered for March date too on Feb 9 to avoid late fee because I thought I hadn't done my best on the Jan 24 one.</p>

<p>Turns out I got a 2350 with a 800 CR, 790 M, 760 Wr (9 essay) ... most are telling me that I shouldn't retake it because if my score goes down on the second one, some colleges like Stanford, U Penn etc will not accept the score choice thing. I've already paid the $45 for the March one, so it will kinda be a waste of money. Can I move the March one to another date for taking SAT subject tests? I have several options:</p>

<p>-Take the SAT on the March date, go for >760 in writing
-Don't take it and don't get another score
-Try to move the registration to later date for subject tests?</p>

<p>Suggestions?</p>

<p>I would choose option #3. See if the College Board will let you apply the fees to a letter testing and take the SAT subject tests. Your SAT I scores are excellent and there is no need to retake.</p>

<p>Send your scores to your colleges.
Retake, if its worse then don't send it.</p>

<p>They won't know your score unless you send it. (or unless its ont he back of your official transcript)</p>

<p>DON'T retake, unless one of your favorite passtimes is taking the SAT. Even if you can't re-allocate the fees to another test date for the SAT IIs, it would be a complete waste of time.</p>

<p>Why would you retake when you have such a GREAT score? And Writing isn't that important; besides 760 is very good already. Go take subject tests!!!</p>

<p>So I shouldn't go for the 800 on writing and a 2390 overall? I should just skip the testing date?</p>

<p>Call the College Board and ask them to let the money go to a subject test date. Your scores are fine for anywhere. Congrats!</p>

<p>WOW!
Nice scores!
Congrats!
If you have a great GPA you are in incredible shape for U Penn and Stanford.</p>

<p>Good Luck and just kiss that $45 goodbye :)</p>
