I agree fully about re-taking it. There is one other factor. It is common with the folks in the admissions dept. to see whether an applicant “sat on his scores” - meaning of course that he took it once and did not try to better his scores. If he sat on his scores, they view it negatively. Have him take it again; it will be superscored unless he is applying to the state schools in Calif. where it is not. Many, many kids go up in at least one subject on the SAT and down on others…very common. The key is to get that Math section up. Good luck.
