Should I retake once more?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I've taken the SAT twice now:
May 2012
CR: 730
Math: 660
Writing: 670
Total: 2060</p>

<p>October 2012
CR: 710
Math: 770
Writing: 620
Total: 2100</p>

<p>Superscore: 2170</p>

<p>I was really happy that my math score went up by 110 points, but I was pretty disappointed with the writing section. I didn't really study that and opted to study a ton on the math (which definitely shows). I didn't really think that my writing score would drop by 50 points though. Should I retake it one more time? Or just leave it as is? Will it have an adverse effect on my college admissions if I just go with my current score? Will most schools super score? I'm just worried that the giant gap between my writing and other scores will have a negative effect, especially if schools don't super score. How much does the writing section even matter? Because in a lot of books that I've looked in they only show a range fro the reading and math score composite, not including the writing anyway.</p>

<p>I’d say retake once more but it depends where you are applying.</p>

4

<p>Where are you applying? If it’s not the ivys or top 20 only schools, a 2100 is sufficient for non-super score schools.</p>

5

<p>Well I was considering applying to maybe Cornell or University of Chicago…but yeah now I’m not so sure.</p>

<p>Cornell is a maybe with your score. University of Chicago, I would definitely recommend a retake.</p>
