# of Times Taking the SAT I

<p>I'm a high school junior and I've already taken the SAT twice. I know I'm going to take it again in June, because I only scored an 1820 (660m, 610w, 550cr) in December. How many times have you guys taken the SAT I and is 4 times too many?</p>

<p>Most people say 4 times is too many, but i think that is just a misconception. Four times is fine as long as you have a good reason. What constitutes a good reason? I don't know.</p>

<p>I don't think there's a such thing as too many, for as far as I know, there isn't a rule that prohibits one from taking the SAT more than a certain number of times.</p>

<p>However, if one takes the test too many times (more than 5), colleges might look at you and say, what's wrong with this kid?</p>

<p>i heard that after taking it three times, they start averaging your scores or something instead of combining your highest from each section. just something you might want to check on.</p>

<p>Consider taking the ACT if you do not score well... (ACT - only one score counts.)</p>

<p>I heard that too, ihaterunning. That CB averages your scores after 3 takes.</p>

<p>I've taken the SAT twice and am considering taking it again to get a higher score in the math section. Is this wise? Also, does CB start averaging your scores on the 4th time you take it, or on the 3rd time? </p>

<p>Additionally, don't most colleges just take your top score in each section, regardless of how many times you've taken it?</p>

<p>CB doesn't calculate an average - - - that is a load of crap. Colleges will notice how many times you've taken it though.</p>

<p>This is so evil, CB just makes us come back more to take this grueling test. After my first time, I am definitely loath to sit through it again. >.<</p>
