<p>Mis-bubbled a question, cost me a 2400.
I know colleges don't care about differences like these, but it's so much more than that. Seriously consider my position; could you just let that go without taking another shot?</p>
<p>Yes I could.</p>
<p>You’re joking… Right?</p>
<p>Haha
You know these tests cost money right? And four hours of your life?</p>
<p>You’re saying you wouldn’t give up four hours and fifty dollars for a lifetime of smug self-satisfaction?</p>
<p>There are better things to feel satisfied about. I would hope. SAT scores are just a means to an end.</p>
<p>If you can consistently get 2400 on practice tests, by all means retake. If careless errors occasionally pop up, then it won’t be worth your time.</p>
<p>it’s not worth the time.</p>
<p>by all means take it…</p>
<p>if you want to seem like a self-serving pedant.</p>
<p>If I missed one in Math, then sure.</p>
<p>As someone who got a 2400, I absolutely would not retake anything 2350+. It’s just not worth it.</p>
<p>You are asking our permission?</p>
<p>Because there is no concrete reason to retake. In fact your sat score is going to be like a high school ring to you in 2 years- embarrassingly outdated in college.</p>
<p>Any reason you would retake would be psychological, and we cant answer that for you. Btw I thought you had to miss more than one to drop below an 800.</p>
<p>I admitted that the only benefit is psychophysical which explains why I am interested in how other people would act in this position. Math has an especially unforgiving curve…</p>
<p>retake it… who wouldn’t want to be able to say they got a 2400?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This. </p>
<p>You’d be surprised how short-lived the satisfaction you’re talking about is. Your SAT score won’t matter to you (hopefully) or to anyone else once you’re in college. I think I’ve only told one or two people that I had a 2400 since leaving high school (and only because they asked). People in college pay attention to what their peers accomplish in college, not what they accomplished in high school.</p>
<p>By all means, take it again if you really feel the need to give it another shot, because nothing bad is going to come of it. I can relate to the need you feel to retake it, just for that personal satisfaction. I’m just letting you know that it’s not going to matter to you a year or two from now.</p>
<p>Advantages of retaking:
*Bragging rights for 2400</p>
<p>Disadvantages of retaking:
*Risk of not getting 2400
*Waste $50 and 4 hours of your life
*2400 won’t matter once you’re in college.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t retake.</p>
<p>It’s 10 points… It’s like saying would you retake a test you got a 90 on for a higher grade. Who cares? An A is an A is an A.</p>
<p>That score is already really good, I would focus on essays and extracurricular.</p>
<p>Wait, but after getting a 2400, won’t you worry about the fact that Tier I universities such as Stanford brag about rejecting many “perfect SAT scores” each year?
Lol don’t take it dude work on something else.
You could turn this into an essay topic:
“Why I missed one question on the SAT so I didn’t seem like a perfectionist”</p>
<p>Don’t actually</p>
