retake? CB says' i'll do worse!!!

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I checked out my november score report today...and what the? college board says that on average, my CR score (710) will not change and my math score (700) will go down!!! Should I retake it or not because I surely do not want to do worse! Oh and viewing my essay online was the coolest ever lol</p>

<p>Well, this decision solely rests with yourself. If you feel confident that you will do better then retake it. Otherwise stay with your current score.</p>

3

<p>Isn't the chance of your score going up or down like 50/50? Or 40/40 with 10% remain the same? ...I think it's worth retaking if you need a super high score.</p>

<p>In the detailed score report, CB tells you, from the people who got the same score as you, x% of their scores went up when they retook, y% went down, and z% stayed the same.</p>

5

<p>why are you even beliving what CB is saying</p>

6

<p>Wouldn't they say more people's scores when up so that CB would make more money?</p>

7

<p>who cares what CB says! </p>

<p>just retake the test and pwn the hell out of them.</p>

<p>get like 2400, go to the CB main office, and be like</p>

<p>"WHAT NOW??!! WHOS GOT THE PERFECT SCORE ON YOUR POINTLESS TEST?!!!!!"</p>

<p>"why are you even beliving what CB is saying"-would they lie to me?</p>

<p>"Wouldn't they say more people's scores when up so that CB would make more money?"-they can't lie to me, right?</p>

<p>hmmm i guess i'll retake because even if i do do worse, colleges combine the highest scores no?</p>

<p>Yes, but they would see that you took it twice. I would say take all the other tests you know you're going to take, send in that score report, and then retake some tests and only send the scores if they're good.</p>

<p>They wouldn't purposely try to discourage from taking the test would they?</p>

<p>u guys are thinking too hard.</p>

<p>like i said, just take it and pwn it</p>

<p>They mean by not studying. If you prepare some more it is a whole different ballgame.</p>

<p>My 710 CR went to an 800. I did forget to bubble in 4 the first time though. Take it if you have time to do extra prep.</p>

<p>dont listen to CB.. it only describes the \"average person\"
you are not average..
you are a really smart person.. you have to be.. you spend time on CollegeConfidential</p>
