How many times did you take the SAT??

<p>I have taken the test twice with subpar results
1st time: M:590, CR:600, W: 640; essay 12
2nd time: M:600, CR: 590, W:540 essay 8</p>

<p>i plan to take it one more time this november after some serious prepping
but i am wondering how many times can you take the sat? why don't people keep taking it to get the score they want
thanks</p>

<p>I took the SAT 3 times, 1 time soph year 1 time junior year and once at the beginning of senior year. my scores went like this</p>

<p>soph year: 740 M/690 V
junior year: 800 M/710 V
senior year: 800 M/750 V</p>

<p>most people don't take it more than 3 or 4 times because it looks obsessive, because sometimes you send like your testing record to a college and they can see how many times you've taken it. like someone who scores a 1400 first shot and then his 7th test gets a 1480 would probably be frowned upon, but that's just my guess I don't know these things for sure.</p>

<p>Are you changing your method of prepping for the next exam? If NOT are you anticipating a different result?? remember the old adage:: doing same thing over and over and expecting a different result.</p>

<p>Twice, so far. I'll take it again in October, but that will be the last time...</p>

<p>March: 610CR, 700M, 800W (80, 10) - 2010
June: 730CR, 680M, 760W (80, 8) - 2070</p>

<p>I'm in a surprising but also somewhat convenient situation, in that my math score is lowest overall, whereas I've always assumed that it would be the highest. This is "convenient" because I feel the most comfortable with math of all three sections, but I'm obviously making little mistakes on a few questions. I plan to do enough practice over the summer to avoid (at least most of) these stupid mistakes that I seem to be making, and then I'll continue to do some CR practice as well and, hopefully, I can bring my score up to at least a 2300.</p>

<p>took the old one once, will take the new one in october. Total of two times.</p>

<p>yea between the first and second times i did not change my strategy much.. but this time i plan to try xiggi's method as well as work through the books</p>

<p>i took it once in may and I am taking it again in october along with the act</p>

<p>"March: 610CR, 700M, 800W (80, 10) - 2010
June: 730CR, 680M, 760W (80, 8) - 2070
"</p>

<p>Whoops, sorry... those should be 2110 and 2170. I knew those looked wrong, but I wasn't thinking about it. Haha.</p>

<p>March: CR:630 M:710 W:650 -> 1990
May: CR:680 M:800 W:700 -> 2180</p>

<p>I don't think I will take it again because all of my practice tests leading up to both exams were in the 1900-2000 range. The May test was my best ETS test ever and I don't think I can do that much better, maybe 50 points with a lot of practice. I am going to focus on SAT II's (Math Level 2, and US History) instead.</p>

<p>I took the old one once and the new one once.</p>

<p>once with a 1580.</p>

<p>but if u count all the practice tests, 9 or so.</p>

<p>i am going to take it three times... last SAT I in November</p>

<p>I took an SAT test. Only one. Last year, but it was in new format.</p>

<p>M:620
Wr: 690
CR: 620
Essay: 12</p>

<p>twice. one old, and one new.</p>

<p>Once, the March one.</p>

<p>quitejaded, how did you take the new SAT last year, they only came out in march (or at least i thought)</p>

<p>Sorry. I meant last school year. The test was taken 2005.</p>
