<p>Do colleges look unfavorably upon applicants who take their SAT IIs more than twice? What if you improve by at least 30-50 points each time? </p>
<p>Will they take the highest score if you take it more than once? twice? </p>
<p>I'm a junior taking AP Calc, and I just took the SAT II for Math IIC. I omitted 10-12 and got around 4 wrong so I think that will equate out to be high 600s and or mabye low 700s. I just wasn't focused and I'm pretty sure I can do better if I take it again.</p>
<p>I'm aiming for top UC's (i.e. UCB, UCLA) so I should definitely retake again right? Should I cancel this score though? I don't know what to do... Thanks.</p>
<p>If you are not planning on applying to privates, then 3 times is okay. UC's just use a formula for your scores and take the highest ones. They don't REALLY care that much about how many times you took them (as long as it's not like 5 times or something ridiculous).</p>
<p>Thanks for you reply aquamarinee. However, should I just cancel it anyways because it is really not what I expected? ...or should I just keep it IF I do worse on my other one or if something happens? I really don't know. Cancelling it not make my math score look as bad right (if I score higher next time)?</p>
<p>I thought that you couldn't cancel after the test...</p>
<p>teenage_cliche- you can cancel the score after the test, but if you took more than one test that same sitting, you can't cancel one without cancelling all of them.
And taking it 3 times is fine, as long as you improve a good amount each time. If you think you did fairly poorly you might want to cancel the score because, as a junior, you still have a lot of time to take the test, and you want the numbers to be as high as possible. I would cancel in your position, if I knew I could do much better, but maybe that's just me.</p>
