<p>CR-590
Math-600
Writing-610</p>
<p>Overall:1800</p>
<p>Highest I scored on a practice test was an 1860 and I'm positive I can do a little better on the CR and Writing (but it wouldnt be a huge difference). But, I did the best I've ever done on the math so I'm guessing I'd lose points there.</p>
<p>Schools I'm interested in: UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, UC Riverside, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, University of San Diego</p>
<p>So should I retake it?</p>
<p>Was that your first time taking it?</p>
<p>Yes and I really don't want to go through this nonsense again.</p>
<p>If it was your first time, I suggest retaking it once more.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter if you lose points since generally, colleges tally up your highest individual section scores anyway.</p>
<p>Yes.
10 char</p>
<p>I know someone who retook with a score similar to yours, and she improved more than 100 points. But I don't know how much she prepped... still, it's probably worth a shot, if you're not overly busy with other stuff, I guess.</p>
<p>Do the UC's take your best individual scores or your best scores from one sitting? I'm asking because I'm applying to mostly UC's, Cal Poly, and USD.</p>
<p>best sitting. sorry that you got a low score. use the aruubato method. (take all 8 tests from blue book, 6 tests from online course, get a test from a friend who got teh question and answer service which includes the real sat questions from a session, take teh one college board has online for me) total 16 tests. Take a few sections each day. review each one like you love sats. You will get 2300+ fosho.</p>
<p>My parents already spent a lot of money on private tutoring for me for this test and I did tons of preparation on my own. I took practice tests from the Blue Book (5 of them) and took the proctored practice tests the tutoring company gave. I think I improved a lot as I scored a 1600 on the PSAT and the first few practice tests again.</p>
<p>I'm not looking to get into Ivy League schools. I want to go to a UC, preferrably UC Irvine. Is my 1800 enough to get me where I want to go? (I've got a 3.75 weighted GPA, plenty of community service, a job, sports, AP's, etc)</p>
<p>Thanks.....</p>
<p>i personally don't think 1800's enough for UC irvine. or i would be there right now as an 8th grade college student.</p>
