Testing Problems - help FAST

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I really screwed up with my testing dates. I would appreciate your help right away. I had registered for the SAT for November and the SAT II in December.</p>

<p>I'm not prepared for the SAT and would probably do worse. These are my options: take the SAT in December, and push the SAT II to January, or take the SAT II in December and push the SAT to January.</p>

<p>Or should I just skip retaking the SAT all together? I hesitate to do this because everyone retakes the SAT, but colleges frown upon January test scores.</p>

<p>I'm applying to some highly competitive schools. Here are my stats to help you give better advice:</p>

<p>SAT: 2280 (combined 1500; CR: 800, Math: 700)
SAT II: US History, 800; Literature; 760</p>

<p>I plan on also taking the chemistry and math I SAT II.</p>

<p>Part of me feels like I wouldn't be able to go up THAT much because I probably won't have much time to study, and that I've passed the threshold and a difference of 30-40 points might not make a huge difference in my application. I feel that doing better on the other SAT IIs might enhance my application more. But I don't know much about this whole process.</p>

<p>I'm stressing out majorly right now and would love your help, asap. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>i think u should take sat in december and sat II in january. Colleges would like your SAT I scores with your application. You can send ST|AT II scores later. Plus you’ll get time to study.</p>

<p>Let me clarify - even if I retake it in January, I will send out all of my scores by December. If I do better in January, I’ll send the Jan scores out to my most competitive schools.</p>

<p>But is it worth it at this point? Or should I just let go?</p>

<p>Thanks for your advice!</p>

<p>I’m also thinking about taking the ACT in December.</p>

<p>Guys, I know I’m being annoying but I have less than an hour to make this decision (completely my fault) so I would really, really appreciate your input.</p>
