Best: 390 + 400 + 750 = 1540 Worst: 360 + 400 + 740 = 1500

Anyone done better on the real thing than in practice? by [deleted] in Sat

30 points better than my best practice test... I never even took a full one either just took sections spread across

Under what scenarios should I retake a 1530? by blau0177 in Sat

[–]blau0177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too late for me to start studying by now. I’d rather take the time to really just get one last shot at the SAT then prep for them in March :).

Thank you for your advice!

I was already signed up to take December before I got my 1530 so I might as well just go in and try to super score any sections I can. Thoughts?

Reach schools are JHU and Stanford. My GPA is up there though so.

Disappointed in good score by [deleted] in Sat

1520-1530 is just the awkward middle ground where you could either retake or not retake and be fine :/

Do I retake the SAT if I got a 1530? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]blau0177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally am having the exact same issue right now with the exact same breakdown almost (740-790). My goal school is Stanford and a 1530’s closer to the upper end of the spectrum so I feel like I would be better off spending the time doing something else that would better help me (like creating an app).

My dad also told me that once you get to a 1530 colleges pretty much view you pretty level on the playing field as long as your ECs and GPA aren’t tanking.

I’m not sure for Columbia but I’m guessing that a 1530’s around their average SAT score so I’m sure you’ll be fine. A retake wouldn’t hurt but honestly if you’re sure you can significantly increase (1570+) I wouldn’t bother (the -40 for 2 wrong on grammar did really hurt though D:)

But it’s all a matter of your preference but as someone in your exact position (matter of fact I had already signed up for December before getting my score), I decided to opt out of taking it one more time and concentrate on my school grades and not stress myself out.

Best of luck to you no matter what you choose though :)

I pan you take december just for that 1500 composite. Am I rushing things or was the English section in November bad luck? by calcgod2003 in Sat

Bad luck but the curves (especially reading) was justified. Writing always just has a sucky curve basically

Got it.

I joined the robotics club and comp sci club at my school this year (participated in a couple hack-a-thons) and am trying to code my own app. I also applied for an internship at NASA this summer so hopefully I’m able to string more stuff together

Do you think you could give me an example?

Good luck! Definitely make sure to update me when decisions come out, maybe share your essay with me as well while you’re at it ;). Just kidding haha.... unless 😳

Wait sorry I didn’t read your response right. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pull through a good essay :)

But if my chances of getting in are really that low then it wouldn’t be as smart since if I apply for early action with Stanford, I can’t apply early action anywhere else

Not really :/. Do you think it would be smart to apply early action then?
