Should I retake the SAT?

I took the October SAT for the first time and scored 2290 (CR: 800, M: 720, W: 770). I’m considerably happy with my score now, but I’m certain that I can pull my math up to 800 if I take it again. I don’t know if it’s worth the time and effort: my superscore would be much higher, for one, but there’s the possibility that I’ll score much lower in critical reading and writing.
Will colleges care if I score lower the second time taking the SAT?
