At which point should I stop caring?

Applying to College
1

<p>I have taken the SAT, three times now. Here is my trend:</p>

<p>1930 (1350M+CR)
2070 (1430M+CR)
2280 - 2300 Super-score (1480M+CR - 1500 Super-score)</p>

<p>I can definitely improve my at least 30 points on my composite because my highest maths is 770 and I have lots of awards showing I am of 800 quality - just one darn silly mistake messes me up.</p>

<p>Should I stop caring now if I am applying to top universities or should I take one more time and aim for a 2350? Would it be worth it, especially since it will be the 4th attempt?</p>

<p>People have already told you no and yes. It seems you’re asking again to get more “yeses”?</p>

<p>no !that score is good enough for all schools,focus on your school work!</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are excellent. If you’re not happy with them, then retake. </p>

<p>If you were my kid, I’d ask you to stop taking the SAT. Test scores are only one piece of the application recipe. I’d tell you to concentrate on something else now.</p>

<p>If you’re addicted to test-taking, then try the ACT. Maybe you can get a 36. Then your SAT will irrelevant.</p>

<p>take the test a few more times. You seem to enjoy it, and you’re scores will probably go up a bit each time.</p>

<p>As far as admissions goes, though, you’re wasting your time. Your scores are high enough to show you can do the work at any college. What matters next in getting into top colleges are your essays, recs, GPA, difficulty of schedule, and ECs. And a shining SAT score, even a 2400, isn’t going to make up for deficiencies in any of these areas at schools that are very competitive.</p>
