I took the SAT as a sophomore last year and recieved a 2260 (CR 790, M 670, W 800). I’m presently a junior, and I’m struggling with deciding whether or not to retest. I’ve been in advanced math classes since seventh grade, and I was surprised for my math score to be where it is. I feel like my math score needs to improve, but I fear recieving a lower score overall.

The schools I’m looking at are on the selective side (Vanderbilt, Wellesley, Brown, Vassar, UPenn). Is a lower math score cause for alarm?

Would it perhaps be a safer route to take the Math 2 subject test as opposed to retaking the SAT?
