<p>I have the possibility to take the SAT I in June 3rd, and october... im planning to apply to colleges for fall 2007 and since i am considered an international student, i have to send everything by the end of december... should I take the SAT in june 3rd (i havent done any practice yet) and if i dont do well i take it again in october, or just practice for the october SAT?</p>
<p>I would take it in October. You are likely to receive rather bad scores in June if you haven't practice yet, so you'll probably end up taking the October one in any case.</p>
<p>I would take it in June because if your scores are poor, you will still have the October test as an option. I saved my science SAT 2 until the last date, and I had to drop out of tennis sectionals (which I unexpectedly qualified for) to take the test. Imagine if you got sick and had to take the test when you weren't feeling well, or something important came up - you want to have a backup. Colleges look at your best scores anyway, so even if you do better overall the second time, you may do better in a particular section the first time around. You have enough time before June to at least learn the test format... I would definitely just go for it.</p>
