Should I retake SAT I or SAT IIs?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm in a bit of a pickle. My May SAT I score was 2260 (720CR, 760M, 780W-11 Essay) and my June SAT II scores are as follows:</p>

<p>Math L2: 780
Lit: 760
Chem: 760</p>

<p>I know I should be satisfied with these scores, but I have this feeling that nowadays everyone's getting 800s, and especially with the way that the tests are curved (meaning it's possible to score 800 with practically 5-6 wrong) that these scores are considered rather mediocre. I'm aiming for highly selective schools like UCLA, Columbia and UPenn, and although I think my scores are within the range, I want to at least try to improve them. However, my last chance to take the SATs is October (I'm most likely applying ED somewhere) and I need to choose between taking the SAT I or IIs... With these scores, which one should I take? Thanks in advance for your input :)</p>

<p>For me, I would retake SATI in this case.</p>

<p>Meh, you could do either. You could aim for 800 on the math II, or you could aim for a higher CR score so you can superscore. To be honest, those are really good scores though. People on CC are not representative of the normal population. You should get into UCLA easy. The other two are hard for everybody, but if you don’t get in, it likely won’t be due to your standardized test scores.</p>
