Retake a 2020?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hi everyone! I hope you finally calmed down after the big pressure of the scores.
Well I need some advice: I took the SAT for the first time in October 2006 and scored 1800. This October was my second shot and I got 2020:
M-800
CR-560
W-660</p>

<p>Should I take it for the third time this December? I’m almost sure I can improve writing for the 720-750 range but I really don’t know about CR. Some people say that universities tend to understand low CR scores for international students or U.S. citizens living abroad but I’m still worried that this score wil ruin my chances. I’m aiming very high to these universities:
Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Tufts, WUSTL, Stanford, Emory, Boston College, Brandeis and maybe a few more.</p>

<p>Given your list of schools you should retake. Get a good vocabulary review book and work on it, a few pages a day, between now and then. When studying for your courses err in the direction of reading more than you have to. Get a book of practice tests and focus on the CR exams. Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with the above poster, given the caliber of schools you’re applying to, you should retake.</p>
