<p>Yolie3000: Congrats on the score improvement. The 1980 is still a good score :). Trust me I have students who are in the top 10 (not %) of their class and they do not have scores that high. It is nice that his hard work paid off. I know waiting for the reach schools can be tough so just try to put things in perspective and be positive with him. The good thing to know is that if he does not get accepted (which I am hoping does not happen)-he at least did everything in his power and will have no “what if’s”. Good luck and I hope you hear good news April 1. </p>
<p>My own DD got her scores for her first SAT and she did well enough for the schools that she is interested in and she met the levels for merit awards. She is going to take it again in either May or June to try and raise her math score. The nice thing is that her schools superscore so she at least knows the January score is her baseline.</p>
