Should I retake my SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I want to get into UCLA and Johns Hopkins University.</p>

<p>I have a 3.97 unweighted GPA, with two 5's on last May's Calculus AB and English Lang&Comp AP Tests (which were the only AP classes I took last year).</p>

<p>This year (my senior year), I'm taking AP Biology, AP Spanish, AP English Lit&Comp, and AP Statistics.</p>

<p>I have a 2300 on SAT I >> 800 Critical Reading, 720 Math, 780 Writing.</p>

<p>700 on Math II, 690 on Spanish, and taking Math II, Spanish, and Biology in October.</p>

<p>SO. Should I retake my SAT I and try to improve math? Cause Johns Hopkins uses the superscore, so I'm wondering if that would improve my chances.</p>

<p>I envy you…but yea I can’t see why you shouldn’t. There’s no way it can hurt you…</p>

<p>I see no reason to retake-after all, you have a perfectly amazing score there, not to mention many AP classes for which you probably have a ton of work! </p>

<p>Focus on the rest of your application; it’s tempting to test over and over again, but you really don’t need to.</p>

<p>You should try to retake if you think that you have time to improve. A higher score for math would really help your application and math is the easiest section to improve, but your scores are more than adequate for UCLA and Johns Hopkins.</p>
