Retake SATs?

[zakarhiya]

<p>Hello! I took the SATs in March and got a 2230: 800 cr, 750 m & 680 w (lololol). I then took the ACTs without any prep & got a 34 composite (34 e, 34 m, 34 r, 32 s & 33 e/w). I also have a 780 chem & 800 math 2 sat II scores. I was wondering whether it was futile for me to retake the SATs. I know if I retake them I could get at least a 2300 superscored.</p>

<p>I'm aiming for the selective small LACs like Amherst and I suppose HYPS.</p>

<p>With those ACTs, why would you bother?</p>

<p>No. Your scores are excellent</p>

<p>You’re done. Remember, neither Y or S allow Score Choice (with some caveats). And while schools do count your highest scores, single testing is nice, for example:</p>

When asked whether Yale looks only at a student’s best standardized testing scores, Brenzel said in an e-mail: “We do give primary consideration to the top scores attained. It can be helpful, though, to know how many times it took to achieve those scores.”
