TOEFL score for pton

<p>hey, im an international and i took the TOEFL on oct 31st and have now got my results. I have scored 110 with a lower writing score than i expected. Now my question is if it is worth retaking it? I still have to take the SAT 2s and to finish preparing my essay. If I understood the TOEFL test in any way then I think that improving my scores at this level would require much time and work. So even though I am of course willing to put in as much effort as necessary, would you recommend re-taking it?
thank you for replying and helping me out… </p>

<p>ps would a high score on the writing section on the SAT 1 make any difference (i am pretty confident that ill score above 700 there)</p>

<p>pps i am german native speaker, and i started learning english in high school if that is of any importance (what i am trying to say is that english is not like the main language spoke, read or written in my country, like in scandinavia)</p>

<p>your toefl score is stil ok. its not really considered. wat matters are ur ECs, SAT, SAT II, App essays and recommendations. Just concentrate on ur SAT I&II and u’d b good 2go.+2have a really good chance…ur SAT must be top notch…say above 700 in each section. That’d give u a big lift as u r an international applicant. Its not easy though bt do ur best…u neva knw. 4SAT II…KIL IT</p>

<p>If you can get 700+ in SAT I CR and W, you clearly have the English skills you’ll need for Princeton. I wouldn’t worry too much about your TOEFL.</p>
