Is my SAT Score an abberration?

Ok well here we go:

PSAT: 178 [first time i took it]

The highest ever score I got on a practice SAT was a 1970

So I take the SAT for the first time in March, I get a 2320 lol

[I registered for the March and a Later SAT at the same time]

my mom forces me to take it the second time, i score a 2050...

so what happened that month lol

It sounds like you got ridiculously lucky, lol.

I'd be so mad at my Mom if I were you.

It is not only abberrational, but also anachronistic. You should show a progressive increase so the 2050 should have been your second score. Get on the ball.

Well first of all I would have your mom read A LOT more books about SATs and college admissions in general before she gives anymore advice. A 2320 on first try and she wants you to retake it? Pretty much anything in the 2300+ is mostly luck, and by that I didn't mean that accounted for the 300 point difference but the odds of you getting lower than a 2320 are much higher than you increasing, especially since it seems you got ridiculously lucky based on the disparity between your PSAT and Practice and now your 2nd official SAT. I understand your mom didn't want to waste money since you already registered for another test, but a nice scholarship for a school that only sees a 2320 than one that sees a 2320 and 2050 could be worth more than $50? And yes some schools take a look at all schools and either average it tin or do whatever analysis they wish rather than superscore.

Second, regarding your huge score disparity, drugs are very powerful things :P

And third of all I feel like we're all getting trolled

What substances were abused between March and the "later time"?
