<p>Just received the results for the November test date.</p>
<p>800 CR
770 M
800 W</p>
<p>2370, first sitting.</p>
<p>In all honesty, I'm kind of disappointed about the 770 in math... (would've rather lost the points in the CR, lol)</p>
<p>Is it particularly important to get a full score in math if one plans to go into science/engineering?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Any advice is much appreciated.</p>
<p>Retake if you’re super concerned. However, even at schools like MIT, 770 is a very good shot. The top schools don’t see a huge difference (especially in math where one mistake drops you down 10-30 points) between a 770 and an 800.</p>
<p>“This student got 53 questions right while this student got 54 right. Let’s admit the second student because he is so much better at math”</p>
<p>Do you think this scenario ever happens? It may be true that, colleges tend to admit higher scoring kids with less exciting applications in order to balance out applicants with lower SAT scores, but that difference is negligible with a 770 vs 800. </p>
<p>Someone who scored a 2370 is probably capable of scoring a 2400 and colleges know that, don’t worry.</p>
<p>Don’t waste your time retaking.</p>
<p>nahhh dawg, you good. plus, an 800 CR is more rare than an 800 in math… after 2350, it’s all the same</p>
<p>Personally, I would recommend you to register and prepare for the SAT subject tests instead of trying to increase your M from 770->800. When colleges look at your application, 760 770 780… are not really different than 800.</p>
<p>I’ve actually already taken the SAT Math L2 and received an 800.
It should override the 770 on the SAT, right?</p>
<p>Time to focus on GPA and extracurriculars then. /dies
Thank you all!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t retake because it could be a waste and your scores could go down</p>
