<p>This score bothers me greatly.</p>
<p>Should I retake it?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Pigs get fat;hogs get slaughtered</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>Listen to these words</p>
<p>You said you got a 2400 on your third try in another thread, so…</p>
<p>He’s talking about the SAT II US History test.</p>
<p>Don’t retake it.</p>
<p>Believe me, I was bothered greatly when I also got a 790 on the SAT II US History test. But then I snapped out of it and realized that it’s still the 97th percentile. There’s nothing to be ashamed about. One problem could’ve made the difference between an 800 and a 790, but imagine if you had made a few more dumb mistakes and ended up with a 750. Just be grateful.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh god, a 750. The horror. </p>
<p>If you take these tests for the purpose of getting into college, then don’t retake it. The 10 points (purportedly) won’t make or break you.</p>
<p>If you take these tests because you enjoy taking SAT II’s and like to prove your mastery over them, don’t retake it. Get a more productive hobby.</p>
<p>If you don’t retake it, you’ll never get into a decent college. Like, you’ll have to go to Yale or some other crappy school instead of Harvard. Basically, you’ll have ruined your life.</p>
<p>Not even Yale. He’ll have to go to CC</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Who’s to say that it’s not productive? :O</p>
<p>
Well, I would prefer 99th percentile.
But your reasoning makes sense.
Thank you.</p>
<p>@OP.
Depends… do you want to be flipping burgers for the rest of your life?</p>
<p>Hell yeah dude. A 790? That’s like Dartmouth material. And you know what happens at Dartmouth…</p>
<p>
I love Dartmouth!
I would be extremely pleased to attend Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Man… whoever’s reading your application at the Ivies will be pleased that so much care is going into your application right now.</p>
<p>I’m thinking they’re numbers-obsessed and throw it out automatically.</p>
<p>790 automatically disqualifies you at all but the worst schools in the US.</p>
<p>Retake. Top colleges are obviously all looking for neurotic insecure numbers-obsessed nerds with completely misplaced priorities.</p>
<p>You might think 790 is not terrible.
For me, it is.</p>
<p>Your sense of what’s terrible is horribly warped. Think about the score, and the average.</p>
<p>MIThopeful16: stop making foolish assumptions.
I am extremely annoyed with your garbage.</p>
<p>Stop being whiny over a 790. And I must have struck a nerve. A little upset I see?</p>
