SAT Strategy for admissions to colleges

<p>760 on the math is 2 silly mistakes. My son is in a similar position - a math kid but his 800 is in CR. Aggravating, but hey maybe it makes him look well rounded. He's retaking because his Writing score was under 700. MIT says they aren't really looking at it this year, but that's less clear at other schools. I think he has a decent chance of improving his score as I thought the essay was given a lower grade than it deserved last year. And it doesn't improve what he's got is probably good enough.</p>
