SATs

[dogsarecool123]

<p>Hey everyone, I need some advice.
I just got a 2290 composite with 800s on writing and CR but a 690 in math. Should I retake it, and if I do but my CR and writing are a little lower will it hurt me?
Thanks</p>

Yale does not participate in Score Choice . . .</p>

<p>We ask applicants to submit the results of all SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Tests or all ACT tests that you have taken. Keep in mind that in making evaluations, the admissions committee considers the highest scores for each section.

<p>As Yale Superscores the SAT, they will use your 800 in writing from your first sitting. If you feel you can improve your math score – go for it – but keep in mind that your 2290 is already within Yale’s range and Yale also says:<a href=“http://admissions.yale.edu/what-yale-looks-for”>http://admissions.yale.edu/what-yale-looks-for&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

While there is no hard and fast rule, it is safe to say that performance in school is more important than testing. A very strong performance in a demanding college preparatory program may compensate for modest standardized test scores, but it is unlikely that high standardized test scores will persuade the admissions committee to disregard an undistinguished secondary-school record.

<p>This is a great score. You may wish to retake it, they usually only consider your highest scores across all takes anyway. If not, you can also make up (if you are confident) by taking an SAT II in Math anyway~</p>

<p>if you had an 800 in math and sub-700s in the other two sections, i would 100% recommend retaking it, because so many people do well in math, but your scores are just what they like. your 800s in writing and cr are much more valuable and i don’t think theyll care about your 690 in math too much.</p>
