<p>The first time around, I got this:</p>
<p>SAT (Critical Reading): 650
Math: 530
Writing: 580
Total: 1760</p>
<p>And in October, I got this:
SAT (Critical Reading): 660
Math: 570
Writing: 550
Total: 1780</p>
<p>Which is an increase of only 20 points! o.O;</p>
<p>Should I take it again in December, or should I not bother wasting my time studying? Are the SATs really that important?</p>
<p>take it if you think you could improve, I suppose</p>
<p>Depends where you are applying, I suppose, and what you are shooting for. When did you take it the first time, and did you study a lot for the October one?</p>
<p>you should retake, math isn't that hard to bring up</p>
<p>If your scores were that consistant, I doubt they will change much with a 3rd test, unless you do something major between now and then (SAT tutoring or a prep class).</p>
<p>The first time, I took it in my Junior year, in June.</p>
<p>I agree with Lafalum...</p>
<p>that it again. I only improved 40 points the 2nd time I took it, but I improved 200 points the 3rd time I took it ontop of the 40 points.</p>
<p>take it a 3rd time, I just took it again in october and my score went 300 points. The 2nd time I took it my score only went up 40. So, I guess 3rd times the charm. And focus on math and writing, your reading score is good enough.</p>
<p>If after two times your scores does not go up much, I would think it is time to look at the ACT. You may pull off 30+ for no explainable reason. Some people do better on the ACT than the SAT. However, there are just as many people who score in the exact same range.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I've decided to take it again, thanks you all for your input. :)</p>
<p>(I don't think I'll do good on the ACT, since I'm not really good at science.)</p>
