<p>hi i was wondering if anyone cud help.....i got a 2130 on the SAT reasoning, sorta messed up the critical reading section....d'you think i need to retake it to get into an ivy league ??</p>
<p>not necessarily, but if you think you can do better, take it again--it can only help.</p>
<p>If the rest of your application is shining and I am REALLY standing out, then I don't there is a reason to retake it. However, if you know that you can do much better and if the rest of your application is so-so, then YES you should retake.</p>
<p>well.....i got a 750 (2 wrong) in math n 750(3 wrong) in writing....and an 11 on the essay.....i thot i probably wont be able to do as well another time, even if i do better on critical reading....i mean the chances are less....</p>

<p>the ivies look at ONLY your strongest score in each individual section. so if you take it again, do better on the critical reading but a little worse in the math and writing, then you're still going to be better off.</p>
