Senior here, should I retake?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Well I'm a senior applying to colleges this year.
My first SAT was a 2020 in January.
I took it again for the second time in October, and got a 2280 (800W 750CR 730M).</p>

<p>I was really disappointed at my math section, since all of those points I lost were due to purely idiotic mistakes on my part, and I honestly believe I could have easily pulled an 800 in math also. </p>

<p>So I have a couple of questions:
-Disregarding the composite, would the 730 in Math hurt my chances at competitive engineering schools? 730 looks really weak compared to the hordes of people who get 800s on Math.
-Should I retake?
-In the end, does it make much of a difference comparing a 2280 to the 2300s?</p>

<p>My main concern is my math score. I'm happy with the 2280 composite, but worried about how my math is so low. All feedback would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>If you know you can retake it and get an 800 in math, especially for an engineering school, go for it. Otherwise, 2280 is a great score!</p>

<p>Alright, thanks, so I think I’m going to retake in December, as I have SATII’s in November. Any last opinions?</p>
