The typical "Is this good enough?"

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I retook the SAT in October from the testing in May, and I wanted to inquire if these scores are now quasi-competitive for HYPSM schools:
May
CR - 800
Writing - 740
Math - 590</p>

<p>October
CR - 800
Writing - 780
Math - 690</p>

<p>Overall, 2130 => 2270. Are these scores (especially the Math section scores) appropriate for the universities to which I am applying? Thank you in advance for your time.</p>

<p>Retake. Math should be higher</p>

<p>My brother got into Yale with 800 cr 790 w 700 m but I think 700 might be a magic number.</p>

4

<p>If you think you can do better (you have the time to study for math), then retake it. If not, then I think it’s a fine score (congratulations!).</p>

5

<p>Thank you for your honesty. I wish you all the best</p>

<p>I got the EXACT same score, and I’m retaking. (Then again, as a junior, I have plenty of time…) I’m obviously very happy with writing/critical reading, but my essay score was only a 9, and since many colleges primarily look at the critical reading/math, I feel like I need to improve my score. </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity - what colleges are you looking at?</p>

<p>They are appropriate, though math is improvable. If you think you can improve it after studying, go for it.</p>
