<p>On the March SAT, I received a score of 2200--a decent score, but I wanted a 2250+, especially since I messed up writing (660). So, I retook in June and I dropped 120 points!!!! I did worse in every area. I don't know what happened. Maybe I was just tired... I know I didn't prep as much for the June SAT, but anyways I screwed up.</p>
<p>My question is will selective colleges frown upon my second score? Will they doubt the validity of my first score and maybe see it as a fluke?? Also, should I retake in October? At this point, I'm completely in shock and I don't know what to do.</p>
<p>i know the feeling...its like AHH retake or not!!! well, i would just keep the 2200 because it is decent but where do you want to go? maybe you should retake it</p>
<p>Well, I would like to aim for the ivies, but I felt the 2200 was slightly low. I received 800M, 740CR, and 660W so I thought I could improve my writing to at least a low 700s, that's why I retook. Unfortunately, everything backfired, so now I'm stumped.</p>
<p>Yeah, the 2200 is ok, but it's the 2080 that I'm worried about. Will that reflect badly against me? Instead of improving after 3 months, my score dropped! So do you guys think I should retake?</p>
<p>dwerbowy and confidential, thanks for your replies.</p>
<p>The schools only look at the top one unless you take more than 3 right? SO why not retake? You could at least do better than the 2080 to show the 2200 wasn't a fluke right?</p>
