Retaking the SAT a "third" time

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>So im planning on taking the retaking the SAT a third time(4th time taking it) in October which is during my senior year. I asked my college counselor and he said that as long as there is substantial improvement on this one, colleges won't look down on it too much. However, I would like to hear what everyone thinks about this and whether it will be frowned upon by the colleges without score choice.</p>

<p>Will the colleges consider the years I took it and how far the test dates are separated? The second and third times were only separated by two months and I had literally no time to study in between. Also, the first time I took it, which was in my sophomore year, I utterly failed, but I took it relatively early.</p>

<h2>Scores</h2>

<p>First time(Sophomore year....I have no idea why I took it here.)-1530
Second Time (Junior year-October)-1930
Third Time (Junior year-December(required by school))-1990
Superscore so far: 2070; 610 CR, 770 M, 690 W, 11 Essay
I am already going hardcore with the studying and plan to continue to do it for the rest of this summer and improve my score by around 200 points.</p>

<p>I think you should try again in the fall because even your third attempt is earlier than many students even take it for the first time. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Check what colleges your applying to allow score choice, because most do. Also taking it 4 times is a little excessive especially if you don’t think you will break like 2150, single sitting.</p>

<p>If you can score substantially higher, take it again.</p>

<p>You should get your CR 610 up. A 770 M won’t make up for such a low CR, especially when it is superscored. Your CR + Math is only 1380/1600, which is not very impressive. Also try to get your Writing at least 700.</p>
