Do I have to take SAT again?

Test Preparation
1

<p>On January test I got CR 780 M 800 W 700.</p>

<p>I am an international student and I am thinking of Brown or Upenn.</p>

<p>Do you think I have to take SAT again to combine writing section score?</p>

<p>I don’t think you have to.</p>

<p>In general, if they superscore, I generally recommend that you take it again, because you have nothng to lose.</p>

<p>Admission into the Ivies is so tough that perhaps getting a 730 instead of a 700 might make the difference.</p>

<p>However, given that your 700 is in writing, I would say that in your case, don’t take it again.</p>

<p>Writing is hard to study for, and is given less importance than your other scores.</p>

<p>Why do you think that writing is the hardest to study for?</p>

<p>I would put it as a definite no. I got into Columbia with a 2200. And whether they say it explicitly or not, all colleges treat Reading & Math a lot more seriously than Writing. With a 1580/1600 in that respect, you’d be mad to give it again.</p>

<p>^ I agree. Having writing at or about 700 is good enough, while your CR+M score is great.</p>
