To retake the SAT or not to retake the SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi. I’m new here and I’m really only here to try to get some input on the above question. I’m going to be a senior in high school in a few weeks and I’ve taken two SATs with major improvement from the first to the second. The thing is, they were only a month apart and I did nothing to prepare for either of them.</p>

<p>May SAT: 1670</p>

<p>I don’t recall my exact scores for May but each score went up in June.</p>

<p>June SAT: 1930</p>

<p>CW: 640 M: 560 W: 730</p>

<p>Clearly mathematics is my weakest link. If I focus on my math skills(or lack thereof), I could potentially do better. But I also feel pretty content with this score and am afraid that the fluctuation I experienced before won’t yield the better results in October. </p>

<p>So my question is this; should I bother retaking the SAT in October or should I leave well enough alone?</p>

<p>The question should be whether your scores are acceptable to the schools you are applying to. If yes, then great you are done. If not, then keep studying.</p>

3

<p>Have you tried the ACT? Some people do much better in that than the SAT.</p>

<p>Depends on the schools you are applying to. (Chances are that you would improve your score if you knuckled down and did 3 or 4 weeks of serious prep/practice.)</p>
