Retake: SAT or SAT II?

<p>So I got a 2260 on SAT I, and 780 on US / 740 on Math II (I also got 750 on World, but I don't think sending two history scores is a good idea).</p>

<p>I was planning on taking Literature SAT II (I'm very good at English, so I figured I'd do pretty well on it), but I know if I retake SAT I, I can definitely break the 2300 marker. So do you guys think it's better to retake SAT I or SAT II this October? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Bump! Answer would really be appreciated :I</p>

<p>Where are you applying?</p>

<p>I would say SAT II.</p>

<p>I’m planning on applying SCEA to Stanford.</p>

<p>I’ll say SAT, Stanford doesn’t lay too much emphasis on Subject Tests. But then you have a lot of perfect 800 subject test students applying. Good luck!!</p>

<p>I could definitely raise my SAT I score at least 50 points, and even up to around 110 points if I really apply myself (hopefully). However, if I take SAT II Literature, the highest I could increase my SAT II score is 60 points. And not only that, Literature is bat**** hard so I don’t know if I could increase my score that much at all. Should I re-take Math II? Or does that seem bad?</p>

<p>how many times have you taken the SAT I?</p>

<p>This was my second time taking the SAT. My first score was 2190.</p>

<p>Your second after a 2190, Colleges don’t like it when students always try to make a 2400 because it will be like all you do is study Id say improve your ecs then you’d have a better shot.</p>

<p>Well it’s not like I’d be gimping out on my EC’s just because I’m studying for the SATs. I’m just wondering if it’d be more important to raise my SAT I or SAT II score.</p>

<p>Take an ACT practice test, see if you get a 35/36. If you score 33+ I’d say you should study for the ACT to take in Sept+Oct as well as the SAT in Lit for Oct</p>

<p>Haha, I’ve taken a practice ACT and got a 27. I’m horrendously awful at Science.</p>

<p>Then I’d retake both and just apply RD. The admissions criteria is the same and imo, if you don’t get in RD your not getting in SCEA. </p>

<p>If EA is a must, then retake the SAT and boost it to a 2300.</p>

<p>If I get deferred early round, I can still apply regular right?</p>

<p>Thank you for the advice :]</p>
