<p>Hey guys, I'm new to posting here, but I've been in the forum for a while. So, I hope I didn't post this in the wrong sub forum.</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm going to be a junior this year and my brother will be taking the SAT in the Fall. My parents want me to take it with him, so that I can have more practice. I know that my score stands in the 1800-1900 range, and I also know that I can increase my score. So, the problem that I'm having is whether I should take the SAT test this fall or wait until maybe next year when I know that my score has improved.</p>

<p>I'm aiming for a 2100 and over, and I'm confused whether colleges will look at my previous score and my high score and shun me based on my previous low score. What should I do?</p>

<p>Taking it in the beginning of junior year is fine. I think it would be good practice. Colleges usually say that they look at your highest scores, but you never know what they really do, so its up to you.</p>

<p>You are in the Class of 2010, so you can pick which scores you can send to colleges. I think you should take the SAT this fall, but if the score is too low, you don't have to send it to colleges if you don't want to.</p>

<p>Also, since you won't be starting college until 2010, I think the new "report whichever scores you want" rule applies to you...</p>

<p>EDIT: ^^you got there before me</p>

<p>No harm at all due to the above-mentioned new rule.</p>

<p>I'm in the same situation. All my pratice test scores are around 1800-1900. I'm a rising junior too. But I don't have a brother, I plan to take it in November or December, October is too early for me. If the score is not good, retake in March.</p>

<p>Ohhhh ok, I see. Thanks a lot!
But, who creates this rule? and is there an official website that talks about this?</p>

<p>The rule comes from the website that administers the tests...</p>

<p>don't think twice, take it. The rules now work in your favor, and the experience, familiarity, and prepping, can only help you in any future retakes. good luck icecube.</p>
