<p>Well, I just took the SATI today, and using my brain, will cancel my test tomorrow. Now, just like all of you know, the next time the SAT willbe given out is on October, and October is also the date where you send in applications for Eary Decision. It just happens that I was planning to take all the SATII's that are needed in most colleges in October. So, to the question. (sorry if my question sounds shrewed. i just can't find a better way to ask it)</p>
<p>When you apply for Early Decision to a college which requies you to take SATII's (and no. I'm not referring to the Ivys. I already know that's beyod my hopes and dreams) do they give you a little leaway for you to take them (say 'till January) or are you epected to have already taken them bythe end of October?</p>
<p>For early decision they're suppose to give you an answer if they accept you or reject you before Christmas. So January is too late. DOn't cancel your SAT 1 Scores, in all honesty, simply applying to a school for early decision gives you the added hook, it shows you really want to be there, therefore they might take you in with a lower SAT score.</p>
<p>...even if you know that you will get a 1500-1600? That's pretty low for any college. (*****ed up the essay real bad, and becauseof that really screwed up the next 2 section following)</p>
<p>So then you could thoretically take the SATI on October, study my ass off and take a MathA SATII in November, and study my ass off and take a Bio and A.History SATII on December?</p>
<p>So, according to you, is it better taking a very good risk of having a 1500-1600 stuck on my record card to might have the chance to get a 1900 rather(I don't know how that's even remotly possibe, since I musy have gotten a 0 for the essay for not completing it AND doign mediocre on the Math, at best) then cancelling and taking it over October (and getting a HIGH chance of scoring a 1900+ since I'll be studing like a madman over the summer) , which might be risking the privlage of getting Early Decision at some colleges?</p>
<p>don't cancel your score, you can just retake them anyways and colleges only look at your highest scores... just see what you get and then retake, if you do well on the retake, one poor testing will not hurt you...</p>
<p>1500 poor? Do you think they won't notice? </p>
<p>'don't cancel your score, you can just retake them anyways and colleges only look at your highest scores... just see what you get and then retake, if you do well on the retake, one poor testing will not hurt you.'
..And do you know this for sure, are you just assuming that? (don't mean to judge you, just nervous here)</p>
<p>They only care about your highest score so don't worry you can retake it. Also for early decisions, some schools will accept november scores if you choose the option of rushing them (which costs $$$ of course), find out from the school you're planning on applying ED to whether you're allowed to do that, you might be able to take the SAT I again in October and the SAT II's in November. December is pretty much out of the question unless you're doing ED II.</p>
<p>On my first try, I didn't finish my essay, was in the middle of a sentence when time was up, and didn't even start a conclusion. I got an 11 on it.</p>
<p>YEah, but I screwed the next 2 sections BIG time. For CR, I got a reeeeeely boring, hard-to-follow readthru taken from some book.
Math, I couldn't concentrate on the Math, but the essay that I didn't complete.</p>
<p>Are you sure they don't care? Like 100% ill-sell-my-soul-to-the-devil sure? I mean, I feel like I'm being thrown like a monkeywrentch. I don't want to have a bad score on my record card. Sure, if they don't care anyway then it does not matter...but......</p>
<p>I wouldn't cancel. If you did really bad, you will re-take them, which is what you're planning to do anyway, but at least you will already have a frame of reference and this will help you the next time. If colleges see a bad score and then a good one, they will figure you just had a bad day.</p>
<p>they take the best sitting. by the way if you take your sat 2's and score good as you think you will score good on the second time you take sat 1's, they'll see that the first time you took the SAT does'nt really match up with the good scores you plan to get in the SAT II's.</p>
<p>Still, they look at them, that means they take that into consideration when looking into something else...and for all I know I could have done bad on other parts of the test I thought I did alright.</p>
<p>By the way you worry, I imagine you're the type of person that blames everything on everyone else besides yourself. Like if you don't get in, you'll think it'll be your SAT scores, there's a lot more to just SAT scores.</p>
<p>In all honesty, when one takes their SAT tests no one goes in there confident that they will achiev perfect scores, nor do they leave feeling the same way. You are just letting your nerves get in the way of thinking properly. </p>
<p>When you get into college, and actually are attending(wherever that may be) you're going to look back and laugh at the whole college admissions process, because in the real world and real life, it means NOTHING!</p>
<p>Forget about applying ED and just apply regular decision. Take the SAT I again in January and don't cancel your current scores. It will make your life easier. Many people take their SAT I more than one time. I took them 3 times! and it didn't prevent me from getting into US News Top 50 schools. In fact I got into 3 Top 50 schools, and that's that my SAT scores where at the bottom percent of the school's average.</p>
<p>Seriously, i know it's hard to believe, but colleges ONLY look at your highest cummulative unless you have taken the SATI >4 times. It seems you are having a very hard time trusting your fellow CCers! But which college are you applying ED? Since you can only apply to one college ED at a time, it is simple to check that college's website. It will state the last accepted SAT testing date as well as the fact that they only consider your highest scores. Also, rush delivery is available as Dima343 stated. However, concerning your SATII testing schedule, you should not need to study that hard for Math 1c. I strongly suggest taking a diagnostic if you have not already before you plan your testing schedule. Plus, with the right focus, you can take 3 SATIIs in one sitting and score excellently if you so choose.</p>

<p>I know what you are saying, but I screwed up my timing on the essay (so I only completed half) and screwed up the next 2 sections following. (missed 5 questions on Math and got a long, very hard to read CR passage taken from a book. I couldn't follow the passage correctly)
I know where I need improvment (Math, since I was doing pretty bad on the practice tests on Math, and essays) and I'll have plenty of time trying to fix those same problems.</p>
<p>Also, I know that the SAT isn't the be-all-end-all of how they determine if they'll accept you or not. There are lots of other factors, but cince I have no EC (school dosen't provide) no AP (again, school dosen't provide) I need something that can say 'hey, lookie me!'. I know it was my fault, so I'll correct it on October.</p>

<p>Trust, but verify. ;) It's not that I don't believe you, but I just want to get the right info.</p>
<p>So, from what you're saying about MathA, is it simular to the Regent?</p>
<p>i'm glad you are taking so much precaution with your applications, mozillameister. there is certainly nothing wrong with double and triple checking. as for the MathA, i am not familiar with the Regent, so i cannot compare the two, but from my memory, it only goes up to algebra II, but is mostly algebra I and geometry. i will leave it to you to double check from collegeboard.com, hehe.</p>
