<p>I was just wondering how many times, cus I heard 4 looks awful. 2 is about average, but maybe you all got your desired score in your try. Will having taken it 4 times really hurt my chances?</p>
<p>I only had the chance to take SATs once. And I took all three SAT IIs on one day. If only I had another chance, I know the scores would shoot up.... :sigh:</p>
<p>If only I had Biology Olympiade another day... ;). Come on, they will be aware, that You took it only once.</p>
<p>Hehe right. But then lots of applicants get great scores the first time round... and even if admission committee knows i took them once, that wont mean it will somehow decrease its importance.</p>
<p>By the way, are you Polish? Or somewhere from europe? Coz you write you with a capital Y. :)</p>
<p>Polish. Good point.
I am always writing with big 'Y' when I would like to show politeness :).
And it gives some exoticity for admission commissioners ;'). Jk.</p>
<p>one is bad, b/c it could have been a fluke if it was really high or really low
two is the best and recommended
three is pushing it
four means you are either a perfectionist which they won't like, might be perceived as picky, and unless it has gone up steadily from the other 3 they will wonder why you wanted to take it so many times</p>
<p>two is the best way to go</p>
<p>i took it once.</p>
<p>I took thrice, but I improved each time so I hope it wont matter (1360 -> 1410 -> 1490)</p>
<p>I should take it a fourth time, really :p</p>
<p>2x ---> from 1450 (750 v/700 m) in January '04 to 1520 (800 v/720 m) in May '04.</p>
<p>BTW....I retook a 790 writing, but it was only because I didn't have time to study for the biology I'd planned to take and couldn't cancel 1 test out of 2. I got an 800, but it still looks stupid on paper to retake a 790...I wonder if I should have explained it. I had a really valid reason for not having time to study...ah well.</p>
<p>2x 1480-->1510</p>
<p>Took it 2 timed ,got 1510 both times.</p>
<p>3 x 1440 -> 1490</p>
<p>siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixty, my loove, where be-est thou?</p>
<p>Two times.</p>
<p>1470 (670M, 800V) --> 1480 (680M, 800V)</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> What a waste of another Saturday morning.</p>
<p>3x's</p>
<p>1400 (690M / 710V) -> 1440 (740 M / 700 V) -> 1490 (740 M / 750 V)</p>
<p>Nice... the last one is my latest breakup too.</p>
<p>I took it once.</p>
<p>I took it 3 times: Math 760 Verbal 630. I will take it again in January I want to improve my verbal score</p>
<p>5 times. </p>
<p>May of Freshman year ~1300
May of Sophomore year ~1400</p>
<p>December of Junior Year~1500
May of Junior year~1500
November of Senior Year -> 1560 (780/780)</p>
<p>I basically used the Freshman and Sophomore tests as a way to familiarize myself with the format. I'd never heard of 10 Real SATs or stuff like that. </p>
<p>I guess 5 times a lot, but I only got serious on the Junior/Senior tests.</p>
<p>Freshman 1300
Sophomore 1400</p>
<p>That senior 1560 was inevitable :p you're in.</p>
<p>Thanks. I can only hope with the rest of you. Though, we'll see pretty soon, won't we?</p>
