<p>SAT scores:
Nov.- 650Cr 770 M 670 W (total: 2090)
Jan.-590Cr 800 M 750 W (total: 2140)
Superscore - 650Cr 800 M 750 W (total: 2200)
The schools I'm looking at are nyu, university of rochester, uva, and the uc's. I'm not sure whether or not I should retake the sat again, try the act, or do both. At first I thought that I shouldn't retake, but then I realized that most of the uc's don't superscore the sat. Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Why not both? </p>
<p>@hawkace I just wanted to get some advice first. Extra note: If I were to take any of the tests, it would be during the fall. </p>
<p>I would take the ACT, especially with your CR score so much lower than the others. But then I prefer the ACT in just about every respect in comparison to the SAT.
If you feel like you can get your CR up above 700 in one more try then go for the SAT, but historically your CR scores aren’t really improving so I’d avoid that route unless you’re absolutely sure you can make the grade. </p>
<p>@saif235 ty for the advice. Does taking the sat three times look bad? I’ve heard varied answers.</p>
<p>^From what i understand 3 times is the advised limit. Of course you could try using score choice to only send some of your scores, but I wouldn’t take any test more than three times. </p>
<p>I would just take the SAT one more time. You’re already scoring pretty well despite a lower score on the last CR section. We can maybe assume that was a fluke, and that you will score even higher this next time, especially with a little extra study. </p>
<p>Your score is already pretty high (but could be a little higher just to be safe) and it’s not worth studying all over again for a new (although similar) test.</p>
<p>Doubt schools will look down on taking it 3 times, especially in this instance, so go for it!</p>
<p>thanks for the advice guys! If I were to take the sat for a third time, would I have to maintain my previous math and writing scores along with cr improvement?</p>
