1640 isnt too bad, the average is around 1500, but i think you should study more and take it again in October

Yeah.

1640 isn't bad at all. But how was your Reading + Math, some colleges only really pay attention to that score... So if you were like me and your writing sucked.... then there is plenty of hope.

Also you can always take the ACT, that is a much more straightforward test (however if you are a slow test-taker, it will be difficult)

Anyways good luck!

but take it again. take some prep classes, or study from a couple of review books.

I can tell I've been influenced by UC standards or something, but 1640 is horrible o_O. But like someone else said, it depends on the school you want to goto and I have no idea what those schools standards are.

1640 is good for someone who took it while in a coma.

Well is your GPA good enough for those colleges? I mean test scores are merely one section. Also there are some liberal arts schools which are test-optional you might want to look at. The most famous and prestigious of which is Bates in Maine.

Also, you can always go to Community College and transfer into a University. But I think 1640 should be okay for those colleges. Check out what their 25-75 percentille range is for the SAT

Then you most likely wouldn't be going to a good university in the first place. Go to community college and transfer if you care so much because as of now, 2.02 and a 1640 will get you nowhere.

That's probably the best path if YOU want to go to a university.

If you want to pursue other things then you should, as long as you have the drive and the willingness to strive for those things.

Look at the admission standards of the schools your wanting to apply to. If your score is higher than the average, then I would think you'd be in good shape. Even then, I would suggest taking it again if you're worried about your score not being competitive enough.

The SAT score isn't everything. Colleges also look at extracurricular activities and community service, so if you're really involved with that plus a strong personal statement and really good letters of recommendation, then you have a shot.

Well you don't need to be that harsh with your tone. Obviously, thread OP needs some help and recommendation but if you don't have anything to say to help then don't post anything at all.
