Should I cancel my SAT Score ?
I think I got a 700-750 on English but for my I think for math I got a 520-540 because my math 1 section was medium hard and then 2nd module I got the easiest algebra questions that make me think I got a 21/22 on the second module. Considering I am applying to places such as Stanford, duke, Colombia is it worth cancelling or keeping.

Hello, Sammy !
In order for you to decide what to do about your SAT scores for applications to universities, you need to first find out the overall score upon receiving the results, not thinking what score you may have received. Once you receive your results, then explore the SAT requirements for the universities you want to apply to. It's good that you took the SAT exam because even though some universities do not require this score for admission, things do change and your applications will be stronger if you do include an SAT score.
Let's explore this. Stanford University no longer requires an SAT score, but like I mentioned, things can change. Their acceptance is of scores within 1510 to 1580. That score range is what they consider to be strong.
Duke University admits students that have taken the SAT exam and received scores between 1520 - 1560. They sometimes admit applicants with a lower score if other parts of their application are strong.
For admissions to Columbia University, students are admitted that have taken the SAT exam with a score of 1520 - 1560. Some students are admitted with a score of 1468. Columbia University doesn't require SAT scores at this time, but as I mentioned before, your application will be stronger if you do submit an SAT score.
Try not to make a decision until you receive your results from the SAT. In any event, once you see your actual score, if it is not to your liking, you can re-take the SAT exam to strive for a higher score if that's something you'd want to do.
By being well-informed, which means knowing prospective college's admissions requirements as well as knowing your exact SAT score, you can make a decision as to what to do .
I hope this is helpful and I wish you well !
