<p>Soo, for October test I got 800 math, 770 Writing, 680 CR.
I’m a junior and want to retake to level out my CR weakness.</p>
<p>Would the January or February test be better as I plan on taking the ACT?
Is the ACT reading section better/ easier?</p>
<p>I think the importance is CR > M > W. Definitely improve CR if you want to stand out. Writing, a lot of colleges are skeptical of (your college essays and AP grades are better indicators anyway). Math is Algebra I/II level, which is easy. Winter, rumors have it that the curves are easier. Who knows.</p>
<p>it depends on the schools you are applying</p>
<p>2250’s a really good score. Only on CC will you ever see a person wanna retake a 2200+</p>
<p>The ACT reading section is different. There are no sentence completions and the reading comprehension is said to be less subjective and more paraphrasing of the passage. The month should not make too large a difference in terms of the curve whether you take the SAT or the ACT. The curves might be different but won’t make too much of a difference. I would recommend to retake the score to improve your CR. Your writing and math scores are great.</p>
<p>Don’t take the ACT. You have a greater chance of getting a 2350+ superscore already on the SAT so the wisest thing would be for you to just focus on Critical Reading. I started out with subpar 600 CR and have 700+. Honestly, though, winter would be too soon. I would recommend taking it in June after you finish your AP English Lang course or something similar and after practicing for CR sufficiently.</p>
<p>mmm, good point. But I worry that June would be too crazy since I’m taking IB exams mid May and then my subject test (US history and Chemistry) in June too.
What did you do to boost cr? I’m actually a stronger english student than math student, but cr just really bugs me :/</p>
