I scored a 720 on SAT Physics in june and i just recieved a 770 from the October testing date. In June, I hadn’t studied and I had some bad stomach problems in October. I am confident that if i retake and nothing goes wrong, I will get an 800. I know that 770 is a very good score, but physics is my best subject and I am applying to top schools such as MIT and Caltech. Also, it is only 81st percentile. I also acknowledge that many schools participate in score choice, so many will not see that i took it 3 times. But is the 800 worth the schools such as Cornell, in which i must show them that I took it 3 times? Overall, is it bad to take an SAT II 3 times for the schools that will see?

(P.S Please do not put any “are you kidding me? you’re crazy.” I would like genuine responses.)

Thanks for your consideration!
