The Coalition App asks “How many times have you taken the SAT?” Should this be answered with the total number of times taken, or with the number of tests taken for which my daughter plans to report the test scores?
My gut response is to answer it with all of the times your daughter has taken it.
Why would it possibly not be the actual number of times?
How many times did she go somewhere on a Saturday morning (or alternate time) and spend 3+ hours reading and filling in answers to the SAT test? That’s how many times she took the SAT test.
At least that’s my opinion. I don’t see how it could be anything else.
That was my first opinion, too (i.e. simply how many times she had actually sat to take the test). But at the following Coalition App link: https://www.mycoalition.help/hc/en-us/articles/115005318087-SAT-ACT-Section, it says
"This section asks about the SAT/ACT standardized tests that you might have taken during your years in high school:
SAT (from the College Board)
ACT (from ACT)
Key Concept
Depending on your answer to the primary question for each test type, a test-specific set of questions will be displayed.
For example, if you took the SAT, answer ‘Yes’ to the SAT question, then choose from the drop down list the number of SAT exam scores you are choosing to report in this section. "
So this says the number of exam scores you are choosing to report. But it doesn’t specifically say what the question was that is answered with the drop down list, but the only questions the application asks is how many times you’ve taken the tests. The top of the web page above is dated in 2017 so I guess it’s possible that the question has been reprhased since then, too.
