Should I retake the SAT?
I got 800 math, 740 reading, 680 writing on my first shot.

Should I retake it? Also, if I retook it and lost my 800, would this look bad, or would the 800 carry over?

Thanks

Your math schore would carry over, in a process called "superscoring."

A 2220 is good enough to basically guarantee admission to any school except the top 10s.

I'm trying to get into a service academy, so it is essentially a 1540 for them.

Dunno, I don't have that many leadership items and haven't done much community service.
