Any downside to taking the SATs several times?

<p>Like could I take them as a rising junior and chose not to report the scores right away a la registration reporting option. But if they are good can i choose to report them?</p>

<p>But say I take it again in the Spring and report those scores regardless,Would the other scores be seen?</p>

<p>once you report a score, all the scores before it are sent also
you can't pick which test scores to send, the whole record goes</p>

<p>@ your thread title:
at an info session one college admin said that taking it too many times shows that you are not focusing on the right things in your application (espeically if your score isn't going up)...they went on to say that almost always recommend that you spend more time on your essays as opposed to retaking the SAT too many times (a lot of times)</p>

<p>You could do that. It costs money though. If you send them the second time, the first scores won't be seen as long as the second test was taken after march.</p>
