<p>The College Board keeps figures showing some students take the SAT five times or more, just as juniors and seniors. </p>

<p>Colleges say they look at your best scores--Harvard strengthens that to saying "ONLY your highest scores"--so the key idea is to gain the highest scores you can. </p>

<p>But test scores aren't the only thing that matters for college admission, even for the students with the highest scores, </p>

<p>so make sure to take care of everything else that is important. </p>

<p>Where do you plan to apply? That makes a difference.</p>

<p>Take act. some people who do terribly on SAT do way better on ACT for some reason. + if u bomb act, you don't need to reveal the score.</p>
