<p>I got 2210 the first time I took it in January--730 CR, 710 Math, 770 Writing. I know I made careless mistakes on the math (and also filled in questions instead of omitting) and I know that the CR curve was really harsh for this test (missed 3 and got 730). Is it worth it to go through the stress and annoyance of retaking or is is good enough to get me in somewhere good?</p>
<p>Quite frankly, I don’t think the SAT score will matter so long as it’s in the higher range–after all, it’s only one part of your application. From what I’ve seen, the EC’s and such are more important. What colleges are you thinking of applying to?</p>
<p>Look at the schools you like and see what stats were for last class admitted. If you are looking at large schools, be sure and check separate stats for honors programs. If you need top merit aid to go to any of these schools it might be worth taking another shot in the fall. For instance, most schools look at CR+M, for you 1440. At Univ. of South Carolina honors, freshmen 2 years ago were 1380-1470 (25-75 percentile) and weighted GPA 4.61 and classes have gotten more competitive since. Probably the stats for highly selective schools are higher. </p>
<p>If money is not an issue and GPA is also high then you are fine. Just do some research. You may already be way over what you need to get in the school of your dreams.</p>
<p>Be sure and check to see if any schools need SAT 2s - they are best taken right after the class is finished in the spring.</p>
<p>We have mad similar stats. The first time I took it, I got a 670 R 770 M 770 W for a 1440/2210. The second time I took it, I felt that the test was much easier and My score jumped up 160 points. I would definitely take it again if you’re looking at really competitive schools (Bowdoin, Yale, etc.) or looking at competitive scholarships. To be honest, I barely studied the second time, except for looking over the vocab. If you’re not aiming for those things then you are fine.</p>
<p>I think a one and done 2200+ is a great score. GL</p>
<p>I would say take them again.</p>
<p>It is so tough to get into a top school that you want to put forth the very best application you possibly can.</p>
<p>With superscoring, there is little to risk.</p>
<p>Also, my kid raised his CR from a 730 to an 800, and his math from a 660 to a 700, with little additional studying, so mere familiarity with the exam might help.</p>
<p>My kid elected to stand pat with his 700 in math, and not take the exam again, which iI think was a mistake, because he got waitlisted at a couple top schools, and who knows whether a slightly higher score might have put him over the top.</p>
