SATs
i got a 2200 on my sats. but the break down is one sided. my reading and writing i got perfect scores, but my math i only got a 600. so iono should i take it again? will universities tink i just cnat do math? or can i just make it up by doing well on SAT II math test?
another queston, is it true that universities loook SAT scores based on range, if you score high enough, it dont matter how much higher u scored.

first of all, that's amazing. a 600 on math just by itself is not awesome, but it's good considering your scores on reading and writing. if you really think that you could do better, you should take it again (if you want to go to a really prestigious school or something) but otherwise you don't need to sweat it.

600 is actually not a bad score for a section. especially cosidering you got perfects on your other sections. now, whenever people ask, i always say its a good idea to take the SATs more than once, but you got an amazing score. and, if you plan on majoring in something that doesnt require a lot of math, then it really wont matter. also, most colleges take your best test, meaning that if you take the SATs again, and get, say 700s on every single section, they will still look at your highest entire score, which means that the new test wont be counted.

If you have solid math grades in school, you should be all right--grades are more important than test scores. If you think you can improve, then it's probably a good idea to re-take. The SAT II Math will also help reinforce that--the Math I's about comparable, I think, while the Math II is... considerably harder, so the Math I may be what you want to take in that case.
SAT scores will generally be considered in a range, because they can vary based on the problems you got and from day to day. So if you're in a particular range of, say, 580-620, then that's your bracket. So if you had, say, a 780, they'd probably assume that you could have gotten a full score. At least I'm fairly certain that's how it works.
