SAT a fourth time?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I'm in quite a dilemma here. I want to re-take the SAT one last time in December since it's the last SAT that UC's accept and because I'm still not satisfied with my scores.</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.9
SAT First time: 1650 (Trial run, I had no idea what I was doing)
SAT Second: 2000 (Only did like 2 sections of Writing as prep)
SAT Third: 2060 (Did 2 weeks of math studying, rose that score by 80 points, rose 20 in CR, but somehow lowered my writing score by 40)</p>

<p>I'm planning on applying to all the UC's but I'm afraid if I take it a 4th time, they'll use that against me. Will they?</p>

<p>Additionally, I think I focused too much on studying Math for my 3rd SAT (I took no practice tests...just math sections). I feel like I "forgot" how to do the Writing sections. However, I'm planning on getting my writing score back up, maintaining my math score, and maintaining my CR score by taking <em>FULL</em> SAT Practice tests throughout the month. Will this likely get me up to my goal of 2100+?</p>

<p>Too be perfectly honest with you</p>

<p>I think you fcked yourself over by trying 3 times already… 4th time is… Excessive…</p>

<p>3 times, I have been told is the absolute max and that it is already pushing it.</p>

<p>I say no, but do it if you really think you can pull a 2300+ out of it to redeem yourself.</p>

<p>Taking the sat as a “practice run” for a real score is really a stupid move unless you’re in middle school.</p>
