<p>Hey guys </p>

<p>Jan SATS: 1830
Nov SATS: 1890 </p>

<p>Composite Score: 1920</p>

<p>Now im going one more time in december for mainly CR and W ..i just want to break a good composite score</p>

<p>Will colleges look down upon this?</p>

2

<p>nope. the general rule of thumb is to take it no more than 3 times.</p>

3

<p>^but that doesn't apply for the class of 2010 and above right?</p>

4

<p>A third time is fine. Contrary to popular belief, nobody really cares how many times you take it. The adcoms have more important things to worry about.</p>

5

<p>^ unless you take it 20 times.</p>

<p>Just don't take it to extreme :)</p>

6

<p>but with the new policy, does it matter if u take it 20+ times?</p>

<p>I know some colleges who start averaging the SAT scores after 3 times. So I'd say only 3 times unless you REALLY want a better score. After all, a small change isn't going to affect admissions, so you probably should study a lot before taking the next retake.</p>

<p>the first and second times i took it, i got a 2040 both times
the third time i took it, i got a 2120
the fourth time i took it, i got a 2270</p>

<p>so in my case, the fourth time helped a lot</p>
