Extreme difference in scores

Well, on the SAT (first time I took it) in June I got 800V/680M/790W. Does it look bad that there is a 120 point different between my V and M scores? I know I can bring it up by a lot, I was on a total math burnout that morning (had been studying for my final exam, which I needed to bring my final grade up [and it did], whereas I hadn’t in English because it was all about books I had read several times) AND my calculator, the lovely $100 graphing calculator that I have admittedly come to rely on - well, it died on the first question. So that stressed me out.

So I plan on taking it again and focusing on the math, and not worrying too much if my other scores go down a little. Does this sound like a good idea? I know all the schools I’m applying to take the best per section.
