<p>I know this has been beaten to death, but should I retake a 2300 if my score breakdown is:</p>
<p>700CR 800M 800W</p>
<p>(keep in mind this is superscored, and I have already taken it 4 times).</p>
<p>I'm applying to HYPSMC, etc...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you want a higher score, go for it!</p>
<p>Also, if I retook I am somewhat confident I would improve to like 750+ reading for a 2350+…</p>
<p>5 times seems like overkill…</p>
<p>If you feel confident that you can improve on critical reading (like if your practice test scores are consistently higher), then go for it. But if you don’t feel confident that you can improve it, then I would advise against this because 5 is a little too many.</p>
<p>yeah… Do you think schools like Yale or Stanford (which require all SAT scores) will look down upon taking it a lot? Here are all my scores:</p>
<p>March 2010: 2080 (630CR 720M 730W)
June 2010: 2230 (700CR 800M 730W)
October 2011: 2230 (700CR 800M 730W)
November 2011: 2260 (700CR 760M 800W)</p>
<p>superscore = 2300</p>
<p>you should not retake. It does not help.</p>
<p>My son had a similar situation</p>
<p>800 CR
800 writing
700 math</p>
<p>I wanted him to take the math again, because with superscoring, there would appear to be nothing to lose, and he got the 700 in math with very little prep work.</p>
<p>But he did not take it again.</p>
<p>By the way, isn’t it too late to take it again, even if he wanted to do it now?.</p>
<p>What is the last sitting for the SAT where there will still be enough time for the results to be considered by colleges for Fall 2012 admission?</p>
<p>I do not agree that taking it 5 times is bad. If the rules are that you can superscore, then you are simply taking advantage of the rules to maximum extent.</p>
<p>That being said, it is not critical that you take it again. Your 800 in math speaks for itself.</p>
<p>I would leave it as is.</p>
<p>4 times was overkill. I don’t even know what 5 would be.</p>
<p>Do not retake it. There is a video from Harvard admissions and they say in it that they don’t like to see students retake a 2300 because after they hit that level their time should be more well spent on things such as their EC’s or even hanging out with their friends. I was surprised to hear that, especially the part about hanging out with friends. So leave it as it is. :)</p>
<p>I think once your at the 2250+ your set for any college in the world. Now if I could get this if I werre smarter at reading :(</p>
<p>Why would you retake? I don’t think you’ll get rejected anywhere because your score is too low or anything like that. What is motivating you to do this?</p>
<p>Colleges wouldn’t really know I retook because I would just send my best scores.</p>
<p>I would really just leave it. First of all, 2300 is nothing to be whining about. Second, you’ve already taken it four times, that already looks bad, taking it a fifth time would look even worse.</p>
<p>How the hell will colleges know if I took it four times if I only send them my two best scores?</p>
<p>P.S. I’m applying to Harvard Princeton Brown Caltech Duke MIT</p>
<p>when you use score choice, you try to hide something.</p>
<p>yea so what… I hide them big whooop.</p>
<p>Here is a screen shot of all my scores… is this too much?</p>

<p>Colleges that specifically prohibit score choice will not like it if they see you used score choice…?</p>
