Should I retake Literature?

<p>I got a 740 on the June Lit test and I know I can do better. I got a 790 in CR in 10th grade and an 800 in 11th grade. I also got a 770 in writing in 11th grade. The 740 is really not comparable, and I can probably get a 800 if I tried. I was just really hungover that day, lol.</p>

<p>My question is, should I retake? Like I said, I am capable of doing better, but I don't want to seem like I'm obsessed with test taking to colleges. I did Penn ED but I am predicting a deferral, so the December lit test could meet the deadlines of all my RD colleges. I am aiming for Penn/Harvard/Georgetown/Swarthmore.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If I were you I would only take it if I was sure that I would get an 800. A 740 is an excellent score on the SAT II Literature. What are your other SAT II scores. I can understand as to why you would like to retake it because I am the same way. If you have 760+ on your other SAT II's I would just leave lit alone.</p>

<p>They are ehh, 740 BioE and 760 Math IC.</p>

<p>you disgust me...you smart people. a 740? there are people out there that would kill for a 650 (coughs me)</p>

<p>i think your lit score is completely fine.</p>

<p>Stop whining. I retook my Literature test because I <em>knew</em> I would get a better score but I didn't and now I'm furious.</p>

<p>yeah, literature is probably the toughest subject test as you can't really study for it. colleges know that and look at scores accordingly</p>

<p>plus i've never heard of anyone getting 800 on literature... i'm one of only a few people at my school that took it and as far as i know i have the highest with 750</p>

<p>I hate when pretentious people make threads like this.
I have no further comment.</p>
