Answer 1

They are not bad scores, but I think you should re-take them just to see if you can get better, and you have nothing to lose =]

Here are some tips on what you should do before the next test:

There are alot of SAT Prep books out there for example the College board SAT Prep book (the best one in my opinion), and the Kaplan one is a close 2nd. The Collegeboard SAT Prep book is excellent because it gives you alot of tips and tricks on how to crack the SAT and it ahs alot of practice questions and actual previous SAT tests from the test makers. Also once you finish the practice test you can go online and put in your answers and see your actual score. Which helps alot! Trust me.

Your second option is to take a SAT prep course in your area. (That is if you cant study from a book). The SAT prep courses that I recommend (which are common everywere in the US) is the Kaplan course, and the TestMasters course.

They are a bit expensive but will give you the information you need to succeed on the SAT.

And the last and final option (if the book does not work and if you cannot take the course) there is a online website (which is totally free) called www.studybeans.com

It helps you with practice problems, vocab words, and almost everything on the SAT.

Good Luck on the SAT! and hope this helped!

Answer 2

Max score is 2400.  Mid range is 1500.  Sounds like you could use some specific test prep.

Answer 3

Your scores aren't horrible but they aren't great either.  Getting into to UGa will depend on a lot of factors than just your SAT score and your GPA is certainly good enough to help your cause.  If you are an in-state vs. out-of-state applicant matters also.

My suggestion is to take a test preparation course and buy the College Board book to take some practice tests.  A free online course is at www.MyStudentEdge.com (use access code: XULGFRAD to enter the site).

Good luck!
