Retake?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I am aiming for schools like Stanford, Princeton, Cornell, Washu and others. However, my sat scores are pretty low.</p>

<p>Jan test
CR- 700
M- 740
W- 700
Total- 2140</p>

<p>March test
CR- 630!!!!!
M- 80
W-770
Total- 2200</p>

<p>I dont really know whether or not i should retake. I'm afraid that the 630 will look really bad even though my overall and the other 2 sections increased. Should i retake in october or just stick with my scores? Also, do these schools superscore?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>YOUR SCORES ARE NOT LOW!!!! geez...this is getting annoying!</p>

3

<p>arnt they low for those schools?</p>

4

<p>retake if you know you can improve</p>

5

<p>Your superscore is 2270. That is a 99 percentile on the big chart, so why are you complaining.</p>

6

<p>Honestly, I would retake, considering the schools you are applying to. Normally I would say they were fine, but when it comes to the really elite schools every point makes you look that much better.</p>

7

<p>do these schools superscore? if they do, im leaning towards not retaking</p>

<p>I was going to say retake because of the 630, but then I noticed you got a 700 already, so i(and colleges) would assume you just had an off-day. Like another poster said, your superscore is 2270, which is a great score. Unless you feel like putting in the work, and know for a fact you can get 750+ next time, dont retake or it'll be a waste</p>

<p>i have never gotten a 750 in any practice test for cr. i guess its best to not retake</p>

10

<p>Wow, these colleges really look at superscores?</p>

11

<p>i know stanford and washu do. not sure bout the others</p>

12

<p>Your scores won't keep you out of any of those schools, including Stanford and Princeton. </p>

<p>People overemphasize SATs. They're important, but not determining factors past a certain range.</p>

<p>Retake if you can improve - simple as that.</p>
