<p>My June SAT score was a 2320, with breakdown 780CR/740M/800W. I'm very happy about reading (my weakest subject) and the combined score, which was +210 from March, but my math score is lower than I want, and low for my actual ability level, as math is my strongest subject. I also plan to apply to Northwestern and a couple ivies as a math/science major, so that 740 will be significantly different from if I retook and got an 800 (and a 2380 superscore, no less). On my resume, however, I will have an 800 and a 780 in Chemistry and Math II subject tests respectively, and Multivariable Calculus/Linear Algebra on my senior year schedule. Will these scores make up for my SAT I math score in establishing me as a strong math student, meaning ivies won't necessarily view the 740 badly, or is it worth retaking for the superscore? Should I wait until AP scores come out and not retake if I get a 5 on AP Calculus BC?</p>
<p>2320 is fine.
You don’t need another point. </p>
<p>I’m happy with my combined score, yes, but I know at a place like Columbia a 740 in math would pale in comparison to almost every other strong candidate, and my GPA this year was only a 3.85, so I’m worried I might need every advantage possible test-wise. Is there any potential harm in colleges that superscore seeing I took it a 3rd time, if my math score again falls short of expectations?</p>
