If you score above a 700 in every SAT section, there really isn’t a ton of incentive to keep taking the test. It’s only a part of your whole application. I don’t know the scoring system, but the difference between a 750 math and an 800 math is an appallingly small number of questions (two or three?). Counselors aren’t keen on deciding to admit or deny you based on two questions you got wrong because you had a bad test day. Work on other parts of your application/life.

Unless you’re applying to MIT where something like the top 60% of of students have an 800 math.

My friend got 1600 and when to UVA. He got into Yale and WashU as well.
Other friend was 36 ACT and went to MIT.
