<p>800 CR, 760 M, 690 W. I know schools place a near-insignificant emphasis on the writing section, but still. Ideas?</p>
<p>I think your score is great! If you have other things to do (Subject Tests, APs, Essays, etc.) you’d better focus on them. However, if you feel you have the time and nerve to sit it again, do it 
I probably would.</p>
<p>Good job.</p>
<p>I would suggest retaking it if that was your first time. With those scores, you could have a shot at the elusive 2400. And most schools actually do count the writing score, with a few notable exceptions (ie Cornell).</p>
<p>It was my second time. But is a 690 really that bad? When I have a 760 in both US and Lit?</p>
