Imbalance?

<p>I got my SAT socres today, and I am, by all accounts, absolutely thrilled:</p>

<p>C.R.-720
Math-800
Writing-790</p>

<p>Total-2310</p>

<p>But someone said its bad to have a discrepency, like the C.R. I hate to sound arrogant, but do I need to worry? Should I retake the test to try to do better in the C.R.? Please don’t take this as jerk-like in anyway. Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Bah, don’t listen to those people. A discrepancy between 790/800 is so trivial. I wouldn’t take the test again.</p>

<p>*between 720 and 790/800</p>

<p>Was it the first time you took the SAT?</p>

<p>Yes, this was my first, and possibly only time.</p>

<p>Do not take again, your scores are solid. Focus on the SAT II’s and the rest of your school work.</p>

<p>Yeah, I probably will. I already got an 800 on Math Level 2, so I can focus on USH nd Physics. I need to study for AP English Language too, Im having troublw with the multi choice.</p>

<p>wow your awesome…wanna let me in on your secrets?!</p>

<p>I might not be the best for CR, but for math, just go past if you don’t know. Come back to it. The other problems get your juices flowing, and you might figure out how to do it later. For the writing, I always say the sentence(s) in my head, and pick which one sounds right, unless its one of the harder ones, which all sound right. Then look for three things: subject-verb agreement, parallel structure, and correct word choice. Doing that well should get a 65+ on the wrting MC. Good Luck!</p>

<p>thank you
i will use those words of advice :-D</p>

<p>darkruler- the thing you said about skipping problems and going back to them is so true. i find that everytime i come back to a problem, whether on the sat or a school test, i figure out how to do it… i think it’s cause you subconcious mind works on the problem after you skip it.</p>

<p>I think so as well. Like on the SAT, there were like 3 problems in each math section I had no idea on, then it just hit me, each and every time. Yay.</p>

<p>Awesome… does that work on CR do you think?</p>

<p>Meh, i only got a 720, which im proud of, but there may be a better way.</p>

<p>I wonder what I’ll get… haven’t taken a “real” SAT yet, but I only got a 68 on the PSAT CR, but on this practice SAT thing, I supposedly got a 740… so basically I have no idea. haha</p>
