Which to retake....SAT I or SAT II?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>Ok, My SAT I is 1870 (680 M, 620 CR, 570 W).
I have a 32 ACT (31 E, 34 M, 31 R, 30 S, 10 Essay).
My subject test scores are: Chem: 780
Math 2: 720
Spanish: 660</p>

<p>I'm worried about my Math 2 score because I'm going to be an engineering major, and I know I can get at least 750. However, my SAT I is even worse and I think I might just retake it for the heck of it. All colleges I've sought information on say that they look at the highest out of the two (SAT I VS. ACT), but I just think it looks bad to have such a low SAT I score. I'm pretty sure I'll match or exceed my ACT score when converted to the SAT scale if I take the SAT I again. I'm applying to HPSC. What should I do???</p>

<p>Are you a junior or a senior?</p>

3

<p>can't you just submit your ACT score in lieu of your SAT Is? then, retake any SAT IIs.</p>

4

<p>^If you send SAT IIs, you automatically send all SAT scores, including SAT Is.</p>

<p>I'd say retake SAT I first.</p>

5

<p>I am a senior</p>

6

<p>your ACT is really good....
and your SAT IIs are good
your SAT score is a bit on the low side...and how sure are you that you can increase it?</p>

<p>I think just send your ACT</p>

<p>I'm sure because I took like 6 practice tests before the SAT I, and all of them were over 2100. IDK why, but I just lost my focus on the SAT the last time I took it (I almost fell asleep on the writing section and left 6 blank :S lol!). I was pretty disappointed when I got my results back.</p>

8

<p>i took 7practice tests and got 2100 too..and then on the test i got 1750 in oct and 1900 in dec...
funny thing was that i blamed the first time for lack of time, but i thot i did well on the second and still only got a 1900....practice tests aren't that accurate apparently</p>

<p>Ok then. Assuming I might get an acceptable score on the SAT I if I were to retake, are there any more opinions on what I should do?</p>

10

<p>I would retake the SAT 1.</p>

11

<p>assuming HPSC means Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, you definately need that SAT I scores up. (That having been said, I recall someone with 1800 something getting into stamford or s.t. like that). </p>

<p>but you had better have a stellar gpa or some good hooks. but if you're retaking you should seriously go for the sat I. For the SAT II math, although I agree that the math 2 can go up, it's not as pressing as the SAT I.</p>

<p>So with reference to your title (sat 1 OR sat 2), i'll say go for the sat 1.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies guys! I think I'm going to retake the SAT I.</p>
