<p>So basic question, should I retake to try and get my ''top'' scores into a single sitting, or should I declare my SAT I testing done and trust super-score?</p>
<p>March '09
- Critical Reading: 740
- Math: 680
- Writing: 780</p>
<p>May '09
- Critical Reading: 740 [no change]
- Math: 800 [+120]
- Writing: 680 [-100]</p>
<p>My highest single sitting (May '09) is 2220, but my super-score would be a 2320, 100 points higher.</p>
<p>So, I ask CC, should I re-take or relax?</p>
<p>You’re not showing much of a trend of improvement so it ultimately depends on what schools you are applying to. If you’re going to a school that superscores than you’re fine. If your school doesn’t superscore and 2220 is lower than optimal than retake it, but unless you work don’t expect any big increase.</p>
<p>A general trend of improvement, no. As my Math score went up, my Writing seemed to proportionally go down in my second sitting.</p>
<p>Say the school doesn’t super-score. They’d still consider that my highest section on Writing, notwithstanding the May '09 score, was a 780, no?</p>
