SAT December Scores Question for UCs?

[pandabear53]

<p>I took the dec 7 sat after i got an 1850 earlier. i studied really hard but got really ill on my test day but i still took it so i don't know how well i did. i am HORRIBLE at assuming how i do on tests; (like on previous tests ill say i did bad but i end up with a really great score, if i think i did good, i end up with a bad score...) but i studied very vigorously and know i improved for sure but i dont know how much. on my uc app, there is a box that you check if you are going to take the sat again in dec. If you check the box, your application is automatically put in a pile to review in december. I did not check the box however i am free to change it at any time. i assumed that in january they will have less spaces to fill and my application might not be strong enough to earn me a spot at uc davis/uc berkeley compared to the others. but i am also concerned that they may review my application with my 1850 and say no. berkeley starts review on monday dec 16 and my scores will be released dec 23, which still gives them a week for applciation review. What should i do? Should i check the box?? Will it be worth it if i get a 2000+ ???</p>
