Even worth taking again?

Ok so back in april 2012 I went out and bought my collegeboard SAT book and that night got to working on it. Worked on the book until my test day which was june 2nd, I did the whole book no page was left blank besides the ones that only required reading. I even did all 10 of the practice sat books when I had the house to myself for more than 3 hours and the highest score I got out of all 10 of the sat books was a 1300. I got sat help from my school to make my scores better and then when june 2nd came I took the test, felt confident after the test was over and when i got my score back...it was a 1230. So Im just wondering if its even worth taking it again. The college i want to go to says its optional to give in scores.

Plus I already gave in my 1230 score to that college but I just want to know is it worth taking it again and sending them another score that may not be much better than my 1230.

it is worth taking again, because since you studied so hard, i guarantee you will see the outcome. Your next SAT test should reflect it.

Yes retake it. I suggest not blindly doing tests, but taking the time to understand EACH question. Here's a useful website with explanations http://www.satquantum.com

The prep books that actually explain each answer in or after the answer key are REALLY helpful.
