Retake a good SAT score?

Test Preparation

<p>I took the December SAT, and got a 2320 (800 R, 720 M, 800 W 77 with 12 essay). I know it's a great score, and I'm really proud of it.</p>

<p>But I want to be an engineer. And I'm afraid that the low math score will hurt my chances at top schools. I've already taken the Math SAT II twice now (740 - sophomore year, no studying; 760 - junior year, slightly more studying), and I really don't know what I should do.</p>

<p>Is it worth it to retake my SAT to bring that math score up (and risk dropping my reading/writing sections (reading I'm okay in, but I don't think I'll be able to get a 12 essay again))? Should I take the Math SAT II a third time and try to get an 800?</p>

<p>Or should I just be happy with what I got and just lower my standards for engineering schools (so...aim for good but not top ten schools).</p>

<p>Most schools superscore the SAT results. See <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Imo you’re fine, there’s no reason to re-take it. I also think you don’t have to lower your standards either though, because a 2320 is a REALLY good score. I don’t think a 720 in a section will hold you back.</p>
