<p>So I'm facing a dilemma right now. </p>

<p>I have taken SAT three times, with frustrating scores. </p>

<p>My counselor/parents are constantly telling me that my SAT score does not reflect abilities... </p>

<p>I'm top 1% at my school for GPA. </p>

<p>And, it seems like all my friends and everyone else at my school are easily getting 2300-2400. </p>

<p>I took SAT I in October. I am also signed up for the math II subject test on Nov 1st. It would be amazing if you can give me suggestions as to whether or not I should take SAT I again or just take SAT II subject. Also, my English scores for October were terrible. How would colleges look at that? </p>

<p>I have also tried the ACT. But it seems like I just don't do well on standardized tests. </p>

<p>03/2008
R- 640 M-680 W-620 1940 </p>

<p>06/2008
R-670 M-690 W-650 2010 </p>

<p>10/2008
R-630 M-780 W-590 2000</p>

<p>Combined Score- 2100/1400 </p>

<p>Subject II
Chinese-800
Math-720
Bio-730</p>

<p>It is usually not recommended to take the SAT I more than three times. I would say take the Math IIC in November.</p>

3

<p>I also took the ACT today.
yeah. I know that it is not recommended since all the colleges would see the scores...</p>

4

<p>it could be that you're just a bad test taker.</p>

5

<p>Yeah se how you do on ACT. Cause I dont think you have to show your act scores so if you do well, then cool. If not, then dont show it</p>

6

<p>Take the Math II again...If you are 1% of your GPA, I'm sure with some studying you can master the test.</p>

7

<p>your combined score is well within range of 99 percent of the colleges in the us, and you still have a solid chance at the other 1 percent.
good luck!</p>
