<p>I got a 33 in September and took the SAT in March (2040 Composite) and again two days ago (pending). I am going to retake the SAT in November for a total of 3 times. Should I even retake the ACT in December? I am applying EA to Stanford, so hopefully my SAT scores will strong enough for October.</p>
<p>bump since no one is responding</p>
<p>Since college (most) only look at Composite, English, and Math, look at those scores.
(Feel free to post them)
If the english and math are both 34+, then you can stop.
If they are not, retake.</p>
<p>Also, check the Stanford admission stats, because I believe a 33 will be about 25%, and you should aim for higher than 50% (34+).</p>
<p>Okay thanks for the advice
I got 33 for English, 34 for Math, 31 for Reading, and 35 for Science, 9 Essay (Combined English and Writing 31)
The thing is I didn’t sign up for the October one in time so I wouldn’t be able to retake it for Stanford. I think I should just focus on the SAT because I honestly despise the science section (my 35 was an abnormality), and I don’t really think I can improve in the ACT as much as I can for the SAT.</p>
<p>Chrisno - Are you serious? Should we stop if we get over 33 on Math/English? I was aiming for 34+, but unfortunately got 33 (science was hard af in sept):</p>
<p>35 Eng
36 Math
32 Reading
30 Science</p>
<p>But im retaking it for a 34+. Is there that big a diff between 33 and 34?</p>
<p>To Darthpwner
- 33 C, 33 E, 34M</p>
<p>Stanford Stats:
ACT Composite<br>
30 - 34
ACT Math<br>
30 - 35
ACT English
31 - 35
not bad at all! All your scores are in the middle 50% of admitted students.
I would suggest that you don’t take the sat, because you get such good scores on ACT. Maybe you can work on the SAT IIs, but that’s up to you.</p>

- 33C, 35E, 36M
Again, great scores! As again, I would recommend to stop since there isn’t any difference between 33 and 34 (unless it is 36, haha). It also seems kinda stupid that you retake just for 1 point. Work on the SAT IIs if that applies to you.</p>
