Should I retake my SAT?

I got-

CR: 760
Math: 730
Writing: 750 (essay subscore of 9)

Should I take it again in November or December? I'm fairly certain that I won't be able to get a higher score in total, but I probably could get 800 on math, which would raise my superscore to 2300.

If I took it again I think I would probably get

CR: 750-800
Math: 750-800
Writing:700-800


Also, I got 800 on my math II subject test, so would colleges take that into consideration when reviewing my SAT I math score?


Thanks so much.

unless taking the SAT is something you enjoy enough to pay $45 for, don't do it.

No!!

I would highly, highly encourage you not to retake. You will likely end up doing more poorly on one of the sections and I can guarantee that your scores are competitive at pretty much every college I know (I'm currently at Princeton)-unless you majorly screwed up another part of your application.

I wouldn't retake, your score is already 99th percentile and your 730 on math is supplemented with your lvl2 score. But if you're very confident that you'll be able to raise your score, and have time and money to spare, do it.

Don't do it. I don't think a better score will make a difference, anyways.

Don't bother. Work on other parts of your application - that'll help waaay more. (wish i'd known that when i was applying to college)
