Is 1790 a decent SAT score?

Question

Ok.. this is my first time taking the SAT's and i was wondering whether or not 1790 is a good score..My GPA is pretty much 3.6 unweighted (if it's weighted it will be above 4.0) and i did a lot of volunteering.

Should i retake the SAT's in order to get a better score or should i just leave it as it is? I'm not aiming for an Ivy league school, but i still want to get into a good university. Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

You definitely did well on your writing section.  However, it is highly recommended that you retake your SAT because with a little more practice you should be able to raise your score.  I did bad on my first try but my score rose more than 200 points on my second try.
