Try to keep it in perspective. Your scores are average only by cc standards - the national average is something like 1500 - and colleges look at many things, not just test scores. If you haven’t already, check the mid-50% range of the schools you’re interested in and see how you stand.

You could also try the ACT. As a worst case scenario, you’ll wind up using your SAT, but some do much better on the ACT, so maybe it’s worth a shot.
