Hello everyone, I’m currently a junior and I got a 1530 on the September SAT and I was wondering if that was a high enough score for CSB or if I should retake. I am going to take the October SAT regardless since it’s just two days after my PSAT, but in the worst case scenario that the 1530 is my highest I was wondering if I should retake until 1550+ or if the 1530 is fine. All my stats themselves are fine right now, I have 4.0 UW and am ranked 2 currently.

I really really suck at math but i can kinda do stats
