<p>I heard that one takes the SAT more than twice, colleges don't take the best score but average all the scores. Is this true and if so, how common is this among colleges? Thanks for your insight!</p>
<p>It is not common, but you don't really want to take the SAT's more than 3 times. They see everything and will likely take it all under consideration, though mainly they care about highest score.</p>
