<p>Hey everyone, I just finished junior year and my current SAT scores are</p>
<p>2320 (800 CR, 720M, 800 W)
800 Chem
800 Bio
800 Math II</p>
<p>I am aiming for Ivies and other top schools, and I am going to pursue a major in Math or the sciences. I was hoping I could get some opinions on a few questions.</p>
<p>Should I retake the SAT I? - I only took this once, and I made some really stupid mistakes on the math because I was nervous. I am definitely a math centered student and I was wondering if the 720 would look bad.</p>
<p>Should I take another SAT II? - Right now I have only math and science SAT II's and I was wondering if I should take a humanities one to diversify a little.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>don’t retake SATs. take a humanities subject test though</p>
<p>^I strongly disagree with this.
Don’t retake any more subject tests, three is the max any school will ask for and nothing looks better than 3 800’s. You don’t need to have a humanities subject test at all, they don’t care what subjects your tests are in, especially considering the real SAT is WAY more heavily humanities based than the ACT, they would probably care more if you only took humanities tests. </p>
<p>I would retake the SAT however. You have a strong shot to raise that math and you don’t even have to really worry about studying for the other 2 sections, even if you don’t get an 800 pretty much every school superscores the SAT. Even if you only raise math to a 730, a 2330 is better than a 2320! And if for some reason you score worse in math, then your current score won’t hurt you at ANY college. That is an above average score even for HYPS, too bad they reject a lot of candidates with amazing scores.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. A main factor in my decision is whether the 800 on the Math II makes up for the 720 on the SAT I. I am leaning towards retaking though because I feel like I could get an 800 on the math section without too much studying.</p>
<p>No. You’re done. They will know that you are capable of making tiny mistakes from the SAT I just like everyone else is, and that’s not such a bad thing.</p>
