Should I retake the SAT?

I would say take them again.

It is so tough to get into a top school that you want to put forth the very best application you possibly can.

With superscoring, there is little to risk.

Also, my kid raised his CR from a 730 to an 800, and his math from a 660 to a 700, with little additional studying, so mere familiarity with the exam might help.

My kid elected to stand pat with his 700 in math, and not take the exam again, which iI think was a mistake, because he got waitlisted at a couple top schools, and who knows whether a slightly higher score might have put him over the top.
