College suggested Re-take the SAT?

Is anyone familiar with nursing schools asking students to retake the SAT in hopes of the scores increasing? One of my friends has been offered to take it from a school in the northeast…just wondered if this is common practice. Thanks…

Most students will see a score increase the second time they take it, with smaller increases after each additional time. The college may have a minimum cutoff for nursing.

There are also some colleges that will give higher merit aid if you get a better score even after you are accepted.
