Test Preparation
1

<p>Status--High School Senior</p>

<p>Super Score (2240):
CR-670
Math-800<br>
Writing-770 (w/ 12 on essay)</p>

<p>Math IIC: 800
Chem: 770
Physics: 730

<p>My mom told me to retake SAT's for January for my fifth time because my reading is low...</p>

<p>I'm going to apply toward Chemical Engineering Section, and i'm interested in applying to Ivy League Colleges.</p>

<p>Is it true that CR score is more important than Writing?? AND Do you guys think i should take it again? (will colleges still see it?..still worth it?)</p>

<p>5th time is just too much. I personally wouldn’t</p>

<p>yea…that’s what i thoguht too, but then i read an article saying that the amount a student takes the SAT is not something colleges look at. </p>

<p>instead, it recommended students to take as many SATs to get their highest scores possible. …</p>

<p>=/ iono…</p>

<p>I think whatever article you read is not so correct… </p>

<p>A lot of college advisers I speak with heavily advise that you don’t take SATs more than 3 times. It doesn’t come off well, some reasons being that this is not an advantage that someone from a low-income family can have and the fact you are utilizing way too much time studying for the SAT instead of doing something more beneficial for yourself.</p>

<p>Most ivy leagues require that you send ALL scores, not allowing score choice, so they will see that you took it five times. This is a quote from UPenn about how they view standardized test scores:</p>

<p>I say don’t take it again. Your score is already good. Four times is already a lot, five times would just be over the top.</p>

<p>I agree with the post above. Five times would most likely reflect badly upon you, and considering that your score is already good, I don’t think taking that risk and stressing about the test another time would be wise.</p>

<p>If you think you can improve, then go for it!</p>
