Should I Retake the SAT?

Test Preparation
1

I took the March Test (which in my area was actually postponed because the CollegeBoard didn’t send test booklets to my center so I took it on the 28th) and scored a 1900 (1300 M+R) and then took it again on June 6th and still awaiting results, although I felt good about the test (2000+), my testing room actually caught the error so now I am worried. Should I take the test again on the earliest Fall date or just live with what happens? Also, I am taking the ACT on June 13th for the first time.

Some background to help give a better picture:
African American/Asian male, rank 19 out of 511, GPA around 3.7, 189 PSAT, AP classes since freshmen year, National Honor Society member, Business Professionals of America 2x State Finalist and 1x National Finalist, 2x Area/All-State Alternate Percussionist, and a few other clubs here and there. I’m looking to go to Texas A&M but cost is a really important factor and I am evaluating my options. Thanks for any replies/help!

Look for merit scholarships on its website. Most look for math and reading combined. Do a list of schools you will like to apply and see which score is good enough for them.

Well, the final date for the October SAT is in September so you can always just wait to see your results before signing up or the next SAT, but if you really wanted to consider it before checking your scores, just decide how well you thought you did on the later sections (I think sections 8 and 9 are the ones not being counted). If you think you did bad on those as compared to the earlier sections, then your score is probably being improve and you won’t need to retake it. If you thought you were really strong on those sections, you might want to consider taking it again. I hope you get the scores you wanted!

@MasterLillyclaw Apologies for the late reply, I just saw the notification. I will do that as my nerves have calmed since then. Thank you!
