What should I do?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm a Chinese student who has never studied in any of the english-speaking countries--yes, I spent the entire of my 17 years in China.</p>

<p>I took SAT in Oct, 2007, and I'm intending to apply for 08 fall.</p>

<p>The scores are: 800 for math, 700 for writing with 9 for essay, 600 for reading.</p>

<p>When the detailed score came out, I found out that I omitted one answer in cr, which is weird because i'm pretty sure that I finished all the questions. So the only reasonable answer is that I gridded something wrong. I REALLY WISH I HADN'T DONE IT!!!! or i can get at least 650...</p>

<p>What should I do? Can I just use this score to apply? or you guys think I need to retake it? If retake it, is that still possible to get registered for SAT in Jan, 2008?</p>

<p>Thanks for your suggestions!</p>

<p>you can retake it, but it's a good score anyways.</p>

3

<p>but i wanna go to wharton... I checked the stats in CC and there was only one person who got less than 600 and applied to penn...</p>

4

<p>Seconded. A 2100/1400 is a very, very good score, but retake it if you'd like.</p>

5

<p>thanks for your encouragement:-) I really appreciate it</p>

6

<p>better than what i have :D</p>

7

<p>you do have a great score compared to even some native speakers!!!</p>

<p>A 2100 means you've scored better than 97% of all test takers, so it's really good, not just for a foreign student, but in general.</p>

<p>BUT, most students in other countries didn't get 800 on math, while most students in China got 800. That's the difference. I think reading 700 + math 700 is much better than reading 600 + math 800.</p>

<p>Am I right?</p>

10

<p>possibly. but it might look bad if you don't get an 800 like everyone else...</p>

11

<p>is it a really stupid question, coz i really want some suggestions... I'm lost. Somebody help me...</p>

<p>just retake it; you have nothing to lose. Since colleges superscore, you already have an 800 math; so just focus on improving your CR: make it a 700!</p>
