Retake SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I took the SAT and ACT for the first time in June. While I got a 36 composite (36 R, 36 M, 36 S, 36 E, 35 E&W), I only got a 2220 on the SAT (750 R, 680 M, 790 W). Do you think I should still retake the SAT, even though I did really well on the ACT?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>My answer would be a no. Send in the 36.</p>

<p>Thanks!! Very helpful little checklist thing.</p>

<p>The take away is that you are the only one who can make this decision. Although the checklist will help, don’t discount your gut feeling entirely.</p>

<p>I vote don’t retake the SAT! You generally only need to submit either ACT OR SAT scores to colleges, not both. Your great ACT score means you’re basically set :slight_smile: Even if there is some college out there that wants both, nobody will reject you because of your SAT score. Good job!</p>
