Should I retake the SAT, which I first scored a 2080 on, or take the SAT Subject Test

Test Preparation

<p>I took the SAT once without a minute of studying -- I assumed I'd take it again so I decided to wing it to see where I was on the SAT spectrum. I got a 2080 (CR: 710, W: 710, M: 660). I scored an 11 for the essay portion. </p>

<p>I know for a fact that I could bring my SAT score up 100 or 200 points. </p>

<p>Should I retake the SAT and improve my score, or keep my current score and take three SAT Subject Tests? I ask because I am applying to some prestigious schools (American University, Boston College, Georgia Tech, UGA, etc.) and do not know which scores would be more important/impressive. </p>

<p>Thank you for your time :)</p>

<p>Wow, an 11 for the essay’s great!</p>

<p>I’m assuming you’re a senior. Have you taken any subject tests, and if so, how did you score on them?</p>

<p>If you score well on certain subject tests they can compensate for particular scores on your SAT.</p>
