<p>Take the next SAT as soon as you can.
Better to get it done with, or if you score poorly again (although you are above average score-wise, you need higher scores to be a good candidate), then you can take it again.</p>

<p>have you considered taking the ACT test? some students do much better with the ACT over the SAT.</p>

<p>also -- there are number of schools where reporting test results are optional for admissions -- check out the list <a href="http://www.fairtest.org/optinit.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.fairtest.org/optinit.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>hm. not really.. i don't think i'll have time to prepare for the ACT.</p>

<p>I agree with the comment of taking it over again also a prep course looks like it could be a good idea also. My D got 100 points higher the second go around on the SAT and raised her ACT 2 points. We had a tutor help her during the summer. It wasn't the material which she knew it was the test style and strategy that they worked on. Also take the ACT's it is a different type of test, kids usually do better on the ACT than SAT if they did not score as well on SAT.</p>

<p>One additional point most schools combine the the highest section of each test from all the tests taken so you don't have to be restricted to getting higher scores in the same test.</p>
