<p>Youths who take the exam multiple times can choose just the best results. Some people see a reduction in stress, but others say the move will mostly help the affluent because of the test's cost.</p>
<p>SAT</a> will let students pick which scores to show colleges - Los Angeles Times</p>
<p>Seems fair because of the following: "To ensure fairness and to stop students from "gaming the system," the College Board ruled out allowing students to mix and match their math, reasoning and writing scores from the different times they take the test."</p>
<p>Also, the option seems like a ploy to earn more revenue from those who can afford taking the test over and over.</p>
<p>Ditto, pretty much, with the above.</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh one year too late for me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>I would have loved that for the subject tests, but I don't like it for the SAT I. I've taken it three times and to get my best score you take a score from a section from each attempt. I think that taking it multiple times can really affect your score and colleges should know how many times you have taken it.</p>
<p>I wonder how much more profit they're gaining.</p>
<p>SO NOT FAIR for class of 09 =(
oh well.</p>
<p>Would love that for my subject tests. but alas.
Maybe if we bug em' a lot they'll do it for calss of '09 too, lol.</p>
<p>I don't think this would lead to a large increase in revenue, as most people I know are already comfortable taking the test 2+ times and don't worry about the repercussions, which don't really seem to exist.</p>
<p>NO ES JUSTO!!!! 2 years too late</p>
<p>ehh whatever, the ACT is still better :D</p>
<p>Dammit, I was so excited, but then I realized that this still doesn't help at all for the subject tests. Wasn't worried 'bout those SAT I's anyway...</p>
<p>It does help for the Subject Tests:
"Under the new policy, students who take the SAT or the supplemental SAT subject exams multiple times will be able to decide whether to let colleges see one, some or all of their scores."</p>
<p>This is great! I have some really bad SAT II scores.....</p>
<p>"I don't think this would lead to a large increase in revenue, as most people I know are already comfortable taking the test 2+ times and don't worry about the repercussions, which don't really seem to exist."
"
But this new policy will enable people to wonder, "hmm, if I retake the test and get higher scores, my old scores won't matter, so I'll take the test again!"</p>
<p>I don't think it's going to really matter. I mean, yes, there are some students who get really nervous their first time taking the test and do worse than they do on their 2nd or even 3rd try, but most people I know do about the same and their best score comes from mixing and matching from various test dates.</p>
<p>I'm a class of 2010er, and it's not going to affect me much, if at all. I'm taking it twice unless I'm completely satisfied with my first sitting score and I'll submit both of my sittings if I do it twice.</p>
<p>I believe in honesty. And I don't think I'm in the minority.</p>
<p>Why does the photo of the test still show analogies? I thought those were dropped like 13 years ago.</p>
<p>There's nothing dishonest about not sending your other scores or the ACT would be morally wrong. It's just a different strategy - which will bring in more profit.</p>
