Yes. 1200 is near the national average and matches the median at many accredited four-year colleges. It is below the median at highly selective campuses.
Retake if your practice tests are 50+ points higher or you need a specific scholarship grid. Otherwise spend the time on essays and a balanced list.
Submit 1200 when it is at or above the school's median. Hide it when the school's median is 1350+ and the campus is test-optional.
