Should I retake?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I have an interesting situation and would like others thoughts/opinions. First of all, I don't test well. I tend to over analyze and over think every question and I also have problems focusing on incredibly boring, un-engaging material.</p>

<p>My predicament is that, after taking the test twice, I still fall underneath the average for my top choice school. However, I recently found out that the school accepts the January SAT test. So my question is this: should I bother retaking for one, albeit my top school?</p>

<p>Just to give you a quick overview of my scores/stats-</p>

<p>GPA: 3.91 UW</p>

<p>Math: 740
CR: 660
Writing: 690 (10 essay)</p>

<p>Math IIC: 800
Physics: 710</p>

<p>Although my scores are not up to par, I feel that my essays are quite unique and accurately reflect my dynamic personality. The rest of my application shouldn't have any detrimental effect on my chances, so that's not a problem. </p>

<p>All my scores were achieved without any preperation and were I to retake it in January, I would be studying.</p>

<p>Your results are great in my opinion. If you want to retake go for it. CR needs a bit effort in yor part I guess. I am taking in Jan too</p>

<p>Just to give you an idea, the average SAT at the school is 1450. And, according to their website, the range is as follows:</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading 680-760
SAT Math 740-790
SAT Writing 670-740
SAT Math II Subject Exam 760-800</p>

<p>for muidd, id recommend reatking for an 800M and 700+ for the rest. after that your chances will go up, but remember SATs are but a small factor nowadays.</p>
