What would you do, Dear people of CC

Test Preparation
1

<p>I have currently these scores</p>

<p>satI 780M, 660V, 610W
satII 7702c 720Bio 680WH</p>

<p>What would you retake???
SATI will be the fourth time btw.</p>

2

<p>Well where are you planning on applying? For a lot of schools those would be just fine.</p>

3

<p>a 1440 SAT 1 ( M+V) is solid if not superb
2050 total is a pretty solid score for all colleges (its a decent score for HYP)
Your SAT 2's are also solid, so you dont need to retake anything
if your trying for harvard or some other top notch school, retaking the SAT depends on your GPA, EC's, etc...<br>
Remember the SAT is only 1 factor in admissions, work on your essays, dont bother taking it a 4th time
good luck :)</p>

<p>I am an intel...
My English is bad, because I just really studied it for 7 months
I am trying out for Ivies and some top LAC's</p>

<p>My rank in my school is 1/120
and very high GPA...high school is top 5 of the country...
EC's are somewhat little, because I focus only on Chinese education in the weekends ( so 7 days a week school) and need to work for paying it...and tennis from monday till friday</p>

<p>what`s an intel? something to do with international students?</p>

6

<p>intel=international</p>

7

<p>yeah, i thought so.</p>

8

<p>I normally wouldn't recommend taking the SAT multiple multiple times- 4 is quite a lot. But if you are applying to Ivies and top LACs your scores are on the lower end of the spectrum. And as an international that pool will be very tough. You might want to consider taking them again, and perhaps do some serious prep.</p>

9

<p>So a fourth time?? Hmm I might consider doing that... but will gain more than lose if i take it so many times?</p>

10

<p>If you didn't start studying English until seven months ago because of the school you go to and that's just how they do things, then have your counselor explain that.</p>

11

<p>If I were you, so don't take this too seriously, I would take another SATII so I can have all of my scores in the 700's (for self-esteem complexes), and the SATI again (for hopefully a significantly higher score).</p>

<p>But can't internationals take the TOEFL, among other things?</p>

12

<p>i wouldnt reccomend taking the SAT again unless you think you can get 2300+. 3 times is enough and your scores are solid</p>

13

<p>I could take the Toefl... but its too expensive 140 dollar... and they not even look at the score as the SAT Critcal part is more important.</p>

14

<p>I think I know what to do now....
I just only retake the SAT for my Ivy apps...</p>

<p>The other school that I apply for already receive my scores already...so they won't see my fourth SAT</p>
