OK So I got a 690 in Oct on CR. I retook it in June. Got a 680. I now feel so angry (especially since I know I made one stupid mistake in Oct which would have landed me a 700). I mainly retook the SAT to boost my 690 to a 700…but its only 10 pts. Do colleges see this or do they fall prey to the psychological effect that a 690 brings (mainly a negative effect). Also I got an 800 on Math in Oct and b/c of the 690 I got a 1490…10 points away from a 700 and a 1500…
