SAT Score Choice and Test-Taking

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I'm a sophmore right now and I'm signed up to take the SAT in June next year. As of now, my scores seem to be peaking at around 2250-2300. I know that once I get into this range, only a few questions here and there are keeping me from achieving the <em>gasp</em> perfect score. Therefore, I feel that if I were to take the SAT many times, I would <em>eventually</em> get a "good" test and may get lucky and thus, get 2350+ (which would be possible if I got like 1 more in math and a few more in reading/writing).</p>

<p>So I am considering taking the SAT before June (but I'm not canceling the June one). However, if I were to do that, I will have already taken the SAT TWICE before I'm even a junior. I know many people are saying 3-4 times is max but with the score choice policy, does this even matter anymore?</p>

<p>If not, I am planning on taking the SAT at least 2 more times and as a senior (4 times). Add in my sophomore year, and I will have taken the SAT at least 6 times. Should I worry about this too much? I'm really afraid that somewhere on the official sat score report sent to colleges, there will be a statistic "Times Taken: x". </p>

<p>btw: is there anyway to order an official score report for yourself (like official ones)</p>

<p>Sorry for the length of the post. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>luckily you're class of 2011. starting with class of 2010, students can choose which SATs scores they want to send to schools. </p>

<p>right now, colleges can see your past history of all SATs taken. but for you, all you have to do is report your highest.</p>

<p>Yes I know about Score Choice.</p>

<p>So it shouldn't matter if I take the SAT 6+ times?</p>

<p>^I believe private schools still want to see all the tests you've taken, especially Ivies.</p>

<p>I've never heard what yummymango said. This policy is so new that I doubt any school has expressed definitive opinions on it; people are probably just speculating. You'll likely be able to just submit the tests that you want them to see. </p>

<p>ANYWAYS, HELL YEAH AHS!!! :)</p>

<p>Awesome practice test scores, mang. Good luck.</p>

<p>I think some schools have said they want to see all your ACT scores, so I assume that would be true of SAT scores too.</p>
