<p>sophomore SAT scores
reading: 600
math: 750
writing: 560
total: 1910</p>

<p>Junior march SAT scores:
reading: 680
math: 790
writing: 800
total : 2270</p>

<p>I know it sounds slightly crazy to retake a 2270, but my reading is so low. is it worth retaking if I could possibly get a higher reading score?
I’m applying to unc chapel hill, duke, columbia, and some other good schools in the fall.
thanks!</p>

<p>No, it’s not crazy to retake a 2270. I got a 2300 my first time (800 cr, 710 m, 790 w) and retook just to raise my math, which I did despite no real studying for the second one. So yeah, it’s definitely possible to raise any section score with studying. My only advice would be to make sure to do lots of practice for CR, as it is the hardest section to raise.</p>
