To retake or not to retake

<p>Hey, i am an international student from taiwan
my TOEFL scores are around 233-290(expecting 280+)
SAT
Verbal 580 (73 percentile)
Math 800 (99)
SATII
Physics 720 (78 percentile)
MathIIC 760 (70)
Writing 640 (59)</p>

<p>The problem is that i was surprised at my writing score, i thought i screwed up
I was expecting a 500-550 score for writing
For math and physics, I was expecting 800 like i always got on practice tests. On the day of the test, I wasnt feeling good.
My question is, should I retake SATI for a higher verbal, or retake SATII?
If i retake SAT II, should I retake MathIIC AND Physics And writing or just math and physics? (I only have one last chance, jan test date)
I am applying to engineering majors.
Thank you</p>

<p>definetly retake verbal.
But if you choose to retake the SAT IIs, retake (since you're going to apply to engineering), maths IIC and Physics because I dont think schools would worry about your low writing bcos you're engineering. Such as MIT, they just want high maths and physics lol. - unless your TOEFL is waaayy below what you have expected, I suggest you to take writing as well.
But.. overall, to be the safe side, you can take all 3! </p>

<p>But I reccomend you to retake SAT I verbal.</p>
