Sat's Again? what do you guys think

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>OK so I'm applying RD to schools like Notre Dame UVA. Gtown, Vandy, and Wake Forest (I've got safeties too..), and I've taken the SAT three times. (The first time was randomly as a sophomore--big mistake.) The breakdown went 1750--->2000--->2100 this past October test. I scored the highest in all sections with this third testing: CR: 720 M: 650 W: 730. I'm so fed up with the SAT but I've been advised to take it again this December to try and break a 1400. How much does this ACTUALLY matter. First off, it will be my fourth time taking it...and wouldn't that reflect poorly? Secondly, I'm pretty sure I can do better math, but I don't want to risk lowering my other two scores. I know ND and other schools superscore but I still think it might look J.V. Anyone have some advice?</p>

<p>Retake it if you think you can do better.</p>

3

<p>i second that...4th time is usually pushing it...but unless u can make sure u hit a 2150+...then don't retake...if i were in ur situation...i would study my ass off (lol right) and take it again BUUUT...if u think u didn't do as well enough to hit 2100 again...then immediately cancel score...if u feel u pwned it...then keep....</p>

<p>Yea... uh the thought about taking it again annoys me but competition is so cut-throat now.. who knows</p>

5

<p>Ohh could a good SAT 1 Math score override an average math score?</p>

<p>Take teh ACT? Im like u, i could never do well on the SAT. I studied my butt off in the summer, and got a 640W, 670M, and 700CR in october. I took teh ACT and got 34E, 32M and 32R. I would take the ACT if i were u</p>

<p>try the ACT
dont take it again.
no offense, but you might do worse.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, either take the ACT, or study for the SAT and see if you're improving enough in practice tests, then take it again if you are. I like ACT better, personally.</p>

9

<p>does it really matter to do worse in a sitting...I mean with superscoring and everything nowadays?</p>

10

<p>yea. I know for a fact that Notre Dame could care less. My bro's roommate took it five times and I've heard of others... so who knows</p>
