Answer 1

I think you should definitely take it again, most people do better their second time. You could also try taking the ACT which most people do better on - you don't have to send your scores if you do bad.

Answer 2

absolutly take it again it cant hurt you it can only help. You stand out above everyone else.

Answer 3

The SAT'sdefinitelyy matter...how much it matters depends on what school you decide to apply to. Most Public colleges tend to look at the combined score of reading and math, and not really the writing. I would advise you todefinitelyy take the SAT's over again...not just to be accepted into the school of your choice, but also for the fact that a good GPA like yours, combined with a good SAT score(1050 or higher on only the math and reading) willtypicallyy give you scholarships to help you on your way to college. Now isn't it worth it to take a little more time, study, get a good score on the SAT, and then not have to worry about your expenses in college? I say it isdefinitelyy worth it.

Answer 4

First of all any college board acredited school must look at S.A.T. scores as a factor.

If You think you can do better by 30 points or more I would recommended. You don't really have much to lose as most colleges only look at your best scores.

P.S. I am in 8th grade but Have already taken the S.A.T.s three times and gotten above 2000
