  • Re: Worth the risk of a retake?

    Most schools take either your best test (all one sitting) or your best scores (best math, best critical reading, best writing from all your tests) so retaking the SAT usually will not hurt you. You may want to look into the schools you are considering. Many schools do not currently weight the SAT Writing section very heavily in their admissions ...

  • Worth the risk of a retake?

    I am just entering my senior year and I already have excellent scores, excepting the writing section on the SAT(650).  I am wondering if it would be worth my while to study and retake(expecialy now that I have finished my AP composition course) and risk taking lower scores on my math and verbal(730 and 800, respectively), or just take it ...

  • Re: Imbalance of Math/English on SAT?

    I'm not sure what you classify as ''English''. Does this include the Writing sections? Each SAT has the following: Two 25-minute Math Sections One 20-minute Math Section Two 25-minute Critical Reading Sections One 20-minute Critical Reading Section One 25-minute Writing - Multiple Choice Section One 10-minute Writing - ...

  • Re: Should I retake SAT/ACT tests? & Can I still retake them?

    If you decide to retake the SAT, ACT, or any other standardized tests, pinpoint your weaknesses and study before taking the test again. You can buy books from collegeboard.com, take test prep courses, and even check out books from the library!!   I hope this helps.  'fly-thought: ''Never make the same mistake twice!!''  And ...

  • Re: what's the best way to study for english on sat

    I took Latin all four years of high school.. Believe me, it helped. Even if you have a naturally large vocabulary, studying Latin helps you identify derivatives and gives you a better chance of guessing the meaning of a word. I've heard Greek helps too, but I don't know many people who studied Greek in high school.

  • Re: Why take the ACT instead of the SAT?

    Some schools prefer one over the other [in SC they prefer the SAT, but in IL they prefer the ACT, for example], but most accept both. The SAT and the ACT test you on different things as well.. I'm not sure what the exact difference is, because I only took the SAT, but I think the SAT is aimed more towards reading/writing and critical thinking, and ...

  • Re: Should I retake SAT/ACT tests? & Can I still retake them?

    It seems like checking with the schools is the consensus opinion, which is probably a good way to go about it. If you think you may be able to improve your scores a tremendous amount, it might be worth re-taking them to show you are a more disciplined student now. Just my two cents. Good luck... I think it's great you are going back to school to ...

  • Re: what's the best way to study for english on sat

    Understanding Latin roots can definitely help out. It may allow you to make some educated guesses when you're unsure of what a word means. More importantly, I'd take practice tests. For me, it helped to do this so I was comfortable with the question types. I wanted to be focused on answering the question not understanding what I was supposed to ...
