<p>is retaking “OKAY” if there’s a significant jump? </p>
<p>and how will colleges look at you if you did NOT get the national merit but you studied your tail off and got a 2300+ something on the SAT ? </p>
<p>Retaking is definitely OKAY! Sometimes they get suspicious if the jump is 500+</p>
<p>2300+ is great regardless of getting the national merit. Just do your best and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>NM is gauged by PSAT at early Junior. There is a full year for improvement and anything can happen.</p>
