Should I bother retaking the SAT I (Got SAT II scores back)

<p>I've posted about my SAT I scores before, but now I have my SAT II scores back, and I am not sure whether or not it would even be worthwhile retaking the SAT I (due to CR). I took the SAT I in March, and I received 800 M, 670 CR, and 780 W (2250 combined score). I looked at my SAT II scores from June, which were 800 Math II, 800 Chemistry, 790 Biology M. Should I bother retaking the SAT I because of critical reading? My SAT II scores are near perfect, so would that compensate for the low CR score?</p>

<p>you’re prolly fine.</p>

<p>great job on those subject test scores!</p>

<p>Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it – your SAT scores certainly aren’t going to keep you out.</p>

<p>You should retake. Don’t lose out on MIT because of a single score. Retake and be safe.</p>

<p>If I’m not mistaken,
MIT takes your highest scores that you got in each section.
I <em>THINK</em> that even if you retook the SAT 1, and got a lower math score but a way higher CR score, then MIT would take that score.
I <em>THINK</em> this is the case. Don’t quote me on it.</p>

<p>^Ya I think that too. I believe they do like a hoslitic grading process where they look at only what is good for the applicant.</p>
