<p>So I was having a really bad day the day of my third SAT and it decreased.
My first SAT increased by about 200 points my second time around but from my second time to my third time it decreased! Will colleges care a lot about this even if i take the SAT a fourth time and get a really good score? Or will the colleges see the dip and not even acknowledge that I may have just a really bad day and be blinded by this and not care much about a great score on my fourth test?
Thanks,
I'm really worried and need some words of advice :/</p>
<p>If you take again and do better, that's what they'll see... just definitely take again.</p>
<p>Thanks! :)
That's what i thought but i was worried that i dipped and that this will be my fourth time (and last). Obviously not ideal conditions...but i guess if colleges only look at the good scores, that's good!</p>
<p>Try the ACT, too. If you don't like your ACT score, you don't have to send it.</p>
<p>Wow, four times is alot to take the SAT...really, how bad are your scores? remember, most colleges take the top scores for each section.</p>
<p>my best score was a 2000, but then i decreased on the last one...
i wanna take it one last time and actually study hard to try and maybe get a 2200 or more.</p>
<p>wait with the new sat policy you can just send your best one</p>
<p>^ That only applies to the class of 2010 (rising juniors) and beyond.</p>
