SAT as a sophomore?

<p>Hey i was wondering all colleges accept SAT scores taken sophomore year right?</p>

<p>I know that, but do they look down on it at all like is a disadvantage in the application process if some kid had his SAT score taken sophomore year?</p>

<p>like if one got 1900 his sophomore year is it a bit of a disadvantage at all to the sophomore as opposed to a junior who got the same score?</p>

<p>like wat if ur score peaked sophomore year, they only consider soph yr scores?</p>

<p>My guess is you are a bright person, and most likely would score even higher if you should take the exam again. Colleges, as I understand, look for the highest score when reviewing your college application. If you were to take the SAT again your JR year, and scored lower, then you would be well served to study/prep to take the exam again your SR year, as 1900-even in your Soph year-will not give you the edge you are seeking for acceptance into your first or second choice school. On top of that, you have to have a JR. year PSAT test score to be considered for the NMF..plan accordingly-and Good Luck!</p>

<p>yeah thanks.</p>

<p>but my question was that is it that if possibly i dont take it again my chance, do i ahve a disadvantage in terms of the admission process because it was taken as a sophomore?</p>

<p>You can take your SATs I think as early as 7th or 8th grade...but, come on...1900 out of 2400 will most likely not be competitive with those students w/SAT scores of more than 1900-regardless of what year you took them. Wouldn't you agree?</p>

<p>You have no disadvantage competing against other 1900s, but since most people gain points year to year, it'll be best for you to retake them.</p>

<p>All colleges that I'm familiar with require SAT scores from junior or senior year.</p>

<p>northstarmom r u serious? which colleges?</p>

<p>I think they have rule that the SAT score must be from within so many years. Sophomore year SAT should be OK, but 7 or 8th grade are probably not (even if requested to stay in the file).</p>
