Is 4 SATs too many?

<p>I've taken the SAT 3 times so far, scoring a 2160, a 20 something, and then a 2210 on the third test (2290 superscored). I know this isn't really Ivy league material, and I know if I took it one more time I could bring it up a lot. I was diagnosed with fairly severe ADHD(it runs in my family) after my second test, and the 2210 was with my medication. My question is, should I not bother with taking it a 4th time before I start applying to colleges later this year? I know even taking it three times is stretching it, and colleges really don't like to see that. Do you guys think it's worth it? I heard SAT scores don't really matter once you get above a certain range, but I really don't know if my scores are good enough for like Princeton(which is where I'd like to go). Also, I took the ACT once without meds and got a 34, is it worth taking that again if I think I could do better? Thanks for your help</p>

<p>I wont suggest taking it again.</p>

<p>Your superscore is competitive, and your third sitting is not bad if it were to stand alone. Three is typically the most times students are recommended to take it, and if you score worse on your fourth sitting, colleges will label you a “test to get in” student. Just don’t do it or consider doing the ACT again… even though a 34 is a good score</p>

<p>I also won’t suggest taking it again. Three is enough and your score is good superscored.</p>

<p>Did you get accommodation for your ADHD, btw? It probably won’t help you now with the standardized testing but a formal evaluation will be valid for at least 3 years and can help you going into college.</p>

<p>You’re done!</p>

<p>Colleges don’t care how many times you take it. They just want to boost their statz.</p>

<p>2290 on SAT is well within the middle 50% range of all Ivies and highly competitive schools. I see no reason to panic or worry.</p>

<p>Some schools allow you to pick the scores to send (score choice) from a particular date but other schools want to see ALL scores. You have to check what each school’s policy is. </p>

<p>U Penn - Score Choice (No); Send all scores
Yale - Score Choice (No); Send all scores
Cornell - Score Choice (No); Send all scores
Columbia - Score Choice (Yes); Highest section Version 1
Princeton - Score Choice (Yes); Highest section Version 2
Harvard - Score Choice (Yes); Highest section Version 1</p>

<ul>
<li>Score Choice - A ‘Yes’ means that the institution does not object to students submitting only the scores of their choice.</li>
</ul>
