<p>I couldn't find a better place to post this, so sorry if its in the wrong forum.</p>
<p>So, as the title says, I am considering taking the SAT 1's as a senior this January. It'll be my third time (October 08 and March 09 previously). Its been a while since I even looked at an SAT book, but this year, I haven't really been too happy (guess that depends on your point of view though), on my score. Considered taking it in November or December, but didn't go forth with it. I got rejected EA (from Yale), so looking at my application, my SAT's seem to be my weak point.</p>
<p>Some other colleges I'm applying to are: UC Berkeley (out of state), Pomona, Dartmouth, Cornell, Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, and Emory (along with safeties).</p>
<p>I was hoping some people could give me their opinion on if I should take it or not.</p>
<p>Will colleges receive it on time for regular decision? Do colleges look down on taking SATs a third time? Can I get a better score even though I haven't looked at the SATs in almost a year (I didn't study too much the first times, only took a class and did what was necessary. Also, I do feel like I can do better on critical reading and writing).</p>
<p>Any advice or stories of being doing well/poorly would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>A lot of colleges accept Jan scores, a lot don’t. You’ll need to check with each college individually.</p>
<p>Colleges do not look down on someone who takes the SAT three times. Any more than that is pushing it, though.</p>
<p>Yes, you can get a better score on your third time if you don’t study, but statistically speaking the chance of doing better is somewhat slim, particularly if you score well (1900+) already.</p>
<p>My advice is to study. If you really want to do better, you should sacrifice some of your free time, as much as you are willing to.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>oh and keep in mind that when you take the january SAT, you have to report scores DIRECTLY to all colleges, so you won’t see your scores before sending!</p>
<p>yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>
<p>^^ hey pigs does that make any difference??? if you send them directly, do the scores arrive faster?</p>
<p>^nooo in order for the scores to arrive in time, you have to send them when you register for the SAT, or they’ll get there too late</p>
<p>yea i mean, does that make any difference? they cant send scores until the sores actually come out anyway. am i wrong? and do you know which section was math experimental?</p>
<p>NO I DO NOT *<strong><em>ING KNOW WHICH *</em></strong>ING SECTION WAS *<strong><em>ING MATH EXPERIMENTAL YOU *</em></strong>BAG</p>
