Retake???

<p>June SAT:
CR: 680
Math: 740
Writing: 800 - essay-9
TOTAL: 2220</p>

<p>June ACT:
Reading:33
English:34
Science:34
Math:36
Eng/Writing:32 - essay 9
COMPOSITE: 34</p>

<p>Should I retake the SAT, ACT, both, or neither? - I'm not really sure about what colleges I'm looking at yet...</p>

<p>I'd say that you should sit on your very good ACT scores and think about retaking the SAT only to get the Critical Reading score up...2220 is a great composite score, but your Math/CR score (the more important number) is a 1420...still very, very good, but below the 2220 average.</p>

<p>Decide on the schools you're going to apply for before you decide whether to retake...it might not be necessary.</p>

<p>Are you in high school class of 2008? I don't see any mention of SAT II (SAT Subject Test) scores. Your ACT score is ample, nationally. </p>

<p>A lot of colleges that care about standardized test scores will be looking for SAT II scores. If you have time to make a good effort on those, that would be time better spent than time on an SAT I retake, in the circumstances you describe (in my opinion). </p>

<p>You've seen my general post on retakes, right? </p>

<p>you probably don't need to retake.
your scores are good already.
only retake if you know you could easily go up significantly.</p>

<p>Do you guys feel like taking the SATs three times is too much?</p>
