Retake SAT with already quite-good scores? - Page 3

Quote:

Junior, female, SATs in one sitting are high 1400s (M and CR), over 2200 total.
SATIIs of 780 (MathII) and 750 (Chem).

If this is her first test since HS. And did it just for 'test water' purpose (ie. with some 1-2 hour overnight review). I'd say definitely retake the SAT I.

One caveat to sending the first SAT scores to schools and potentially not sending a second sitting: if the D is going to take any other SAT-IIs, she should take those before the 2nd SAT if she might want to keep that SAT score hidden.

jmmom,
That was why I wondered if your friends had run the numbers yet. My feeling is that if the parents of sophs and juniors I'm talking to aren't freaked out about money yet or didn't realize this was the toughest year in admissions, they are blissfully unaware of the bomb that's about to drop on them or they are in major denial.

Time for a reality check.
