SAT scores: First Attempt vs. Second Attempt

<p>First score: 2230 - 700 M, 730 Wr, 800 Cr
Second score: 2300 - 770 M, 800 Wr, 730 Cr
Change: +70 points</p>

<p>Reasons: Didn’t prepare at all for Cr after my 800 b/c of overconfidence (also had an 80 on my sophomore PSAT, so I assumed it would drop too much); plus, I was counting on a superscore, so I didn’t see much reason to prepare for Cr. Also, I studied like crazy for the math section (50+ hours, for certain), and the writing…is inexplicable. I’d wager an easy test–just easy enough for me not to miss any, since missing even 1 MC on that particular test would have really hurt me.</p>
