Retake or no?

<p>I'm a junior, and I took my first SAT this October. Spent about three weeks (15 min ish a day?) prepping. I started from a 202 soph PSAT without studying, and was going for a 2300+</p>

<p>I ended up with a 2250. It's a score I'm pretty happy with, but I got a 730 on CR (this is my best section and I got 780-800 CR's on practice tests). However, I think I was a little too nervous on the actual thing. My breakdown was:</p>

<p>730 CR
770 writing
750 math</p>

<p>I think that if I were to retake I would have a decent chance at a 770+ CR and possibly a higher writing score (majoring in english, too). I'm wondering if this is worth it. Do colleges look down upon a second attempt? Some of the colleges I want to apply to don't allow the use of score choice.</p>

<p>taking the sat twice is pretty normal, they wont look down on it especially if you improve
since you are still a junior and have a while to go until the last deadline,
i would suggest waiting until may or june or even october your senior year to take it again
i almost guarantee your score will be better</p>
