[quote=Anonymous] OP -- Your child's scores are very, very good. It's just that the schools she's looking at have so many very, very strong applicants. For the vast majority of colleges and universities, her scores would be great. The conversation you need to have with her is to delve into what her safeties would be. If she doesn't want to take the test again to improve her chances of admission to her top 3 choices, that alone should tell her and you something about whether those are the right places for her because there are kids -- our DC was one of them --who do the research on their own and decide that their insanely high scores (in my view) don't seem high enough to give them good odds, and they retake to improve their chances. There is really almost no risk here in retaking because of super scoring at most schools. But if your child improves CR and manages to duplicate the 800 in math, that would look impressive. Good luck.[/quote]
