What tests should I take?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys, I was hoping somebody could help me out in choosing what tests I need to be taking in the upcoming months. I am a junior this year.</p>

<p>I took the January SAT with no studying and was very disappointed in my score (1840, CR:630, W:600, M:610)</p>

<p>I then took the February ACT, again with no studying, and did decent job with the exception of the math section (31, M:27, E:34, S:30, R:31)</p>

<p>I took a practice test and looked over some math concepts before taking the April ACT and did a bit better (33, M:32, E:36, S:30, R:32)</p>

<p>I am currently scheduled for the June SAT, but am considering pushing it back or maybe not even taking it again. With a 33 on the ACT, how important is improving my SAT? The reason I want to push it back is that I want to take the US history SAT subject test, as I have been rigorously preparing for the AP test and would like to test my US history knowledge with the subject test as well. </p>

<p>Also, would it make sense to take the ACT again? I think with some more studying I could bring my scores up and possibly bring my 33 to a 34 or 35, is it worth the few extra points? </p>

<p>Basically, what I want to know is this: should i take the June SAT or a US history subject test, should I retake the ACT, and should I retake the SAT?</p>

<p>Thanks guys, any help is appreciated. I plan on applying to upper level universities: Notre Dame, Duke, Rice, NYU, UT Austin, ect.</p>

<p>For those schools, a 33 is pretty solid, but a 35 would help a ton. It really seperates you from the others if the average is about a 32</p>

<p>Yeah, and I think if I can get a 34 of 35 with some practice (in science, especially) then it makes sense to take it again.</p>

<p>Any suggestions on what tests to take and when for me?</p>
