<p>I took the SAT US yesterday but made a bunch of stupid mistakes (e.g. overlooking the word "except"....multiple times.) I'm pretty sure I got something in the 770-790 range.</p>
<p>Problem is, I am considering being a history major and US History is my strongest subject at school. My APUSH teacher has also offered to write a recommendation for me (for college apps), so I assume that she will say many positive things. </p>
<p>However, if my score is not perfect, wouldn't that discredit her recommendation? Would adcoms scoff at my application if they saw that my intended major is history, yet I fail to get an 800? (My reach schools include top LACs and Ivies.)</p>
<p>On practice tests, I have received nothing but 800s (normally a raw score of -2 or -3) so I know I have all the information in my head. The night before the actual test, I got home from a meet at midnight (I normally sleep at 9pm) - so that might've tripped me up a bit.</p>
<p>Should I cancel my score and retake it in June for an 800? </p>
<p>I'm already signed up for June for US History (by mistake), so I've paid the money. I'm just worried that I might forget the information by June :/</p>
