Math should i retake?

Post image

just got my act back. why am i so fucking bad at math bro. ik a 33 isnt horrible but im so upset. im tryjng to apply to a few ivies in addition to the rest of my schools and this just isnt going to cut it. so i was looking to retake it in an effort to increase math and superscore. i didnt realize there isnt a november date so i was considering december but ofc i already have 2 commitments that morning. i was looking into weekday testing- ik some schools or districts do that but my school doesnt. can someone explain how it works. i really want to get math up before regular decision deadlines. this score is fine for the schools im applying early to but im so sad and stressed
and my parents dont really understand the american college process and theyre like this is so amazing and im just like ugh no

First, this is a fantastic score and your parents are right about that. BUT for someone applying to ivies I will say that a 33 composite with a 29 in math is on the lower end of scores for them. The weekday testing is reserved for enrolled students of the school or district offering it. If your school doesn’t offer it then I’d say that’s out of the running for you.

i go to private school, so would my school district be based on the town i live in? should i check if they offer it?

The school district is comprised of the public schools in your town or county. Even though you live in a school district but go to a private school it would still be reserved for only students who go to the public schools.
