<p>If you really didn’t want to take the test, and your math score was at the 25th percentile while your CR & W scores were at the 75th, I’d say don’t worry about it. Since your score is below the 25-75% range given I would suggest taking it again if you want to have a competitive application.</p>
<p>This is just one persons opinion certainly, however the historical data of students admitted seems to support this.</p>
<p>With solid, steady preparation for the October test a 50pt bump is certainly achievable. If your schools superscore I wouldn’t even bother studying CR & W (simply light review). The math goes through Alg. 2 and many students are 2-3 years beyond that when they take the test. It can require decent preparation even for good math students. It depends on how important it is to you, and if you are willing to put in some time.
Best of luck!</p>
