Omg SAT scores?

Question

ok the first time i took the SATs i got a 1770. I took it again hoping to do better and guess what I got a 1700.

The first time, I never finished my essay and I got a 10 on it. The second time, I DID finish my essay and I got a 8 on it. ?!!

Sheesh, are these scores good enough though? I'm worried about college.

Answer 1

Those scores are good. I wouldn't worry about it unless you want to go to IVY League schools or something, then you need at least 2000. Good Luck

Answer 2

The essay is not a completely fairly graded assessment.  I got a 6 the first time I took it and an 11 the second time.  Personally, I think the first essay was by far the better of the two, but the only requirement to grade them is a high school degree so they're really only looking for big words.

About the scores, most colleges don't factor in the writing score - only the composite (math and reading).  Since I don't know what your composite is, I can't say for sure.  I think your chances of getting into a good college are pretty good.  If you're planning on a ivy league, you might want to try beefing up the scores again, but remember, good colleges are interested in the well rounded student, not just the high scorers.
