I don’t think the argument of “you can spend the precious time on other things” is a very good one, but it keeps turning up. For the kids I know who score 2300+ on the SAT, prep is NOT a big deal, only a couple hours scattered here and there and that Saturday morning.



If they are scoring 2300+ in the first place, they definitely don’t need the retake. It makes them look like ridiculous point grubbers.



For some kids the ‘amazing’ 2300+ score is underperforming.



Not really. It might not be a perfect score, but if they are capable of getting perfect scores then 2300+ is in the expected range. And it’s not going to keep them out of anywhere.
