Retake for TAMS

<p>I am currently a sophmore trying to gain acceptance into the Texas Academy of Math and Science, a program which allows juniors and seniors to attend a college level classes. This program requires a competitive SAT score some where near a 1900 to a 2000. I currently made a 1670, and I know it is not TAMS material but I really want to get in. Do you reccommend I retake the SAT??</p>

<p>I think you may be running out of time. Did you check the the last SAT date allowed?</p>

<p>You don’t seem to have much choice if you plan on applying. However, it really depends on how you are doing in practice tests to see if it would any difference.</p>

<p>There isn’t a required SAT score for TAMS</p>

<p>The average accepted scores for the current 1st years was a little better than 600 (maybe 610) CR, about 690-695 math. This was in a handout when we went for the preview day.</p>

<p>My son is a freshman applying from a small town in West Texas. He just got his scores - 700 math, 690 CR, 2040 total. I think the fact that he’s a freshman will count against him as they seem to take mostly sophs, but we’re hoping he’ll get an interview.</p>
