<p>Of course you have to retake it. That 10-point differential is not about whether colleges would look more favorably upon a perfect score or whether your classmates in college would give you kudos for having achieved the near-impossible. </p>
<p>It’s a matter of ego, pure and simple, knowing that you completely owned and dominated the SAT and did what only a privileged few can ever do. I mean, how could you live with yourself, thinking of the other smug bastards out there with 2400s boasting with despicably enviable swagger that they got a perfect score while you have to be content with keeping your mouth shut, because trust me, 2390 doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as 2400, does it?</p>
<p>Why do you have to retake it? Because for people like you, 2390 is still a failure. It’s like saying, “Oh, I almost reached the moon but fell short by only 10 feet!” </p>
<p>Your manhood that will define who you are for years to come is on the line here.</p>
