<p>OK so I'm applying RD to Notre Dame, 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>Haha, well I would retake it if you'd only taken it twice, but taking it four times...well, the office of admissions has actually said that they want to see you doing something better with your time. I'd say if you can SIGNIFICANTLY improve (ie 70-100+ pts), re-take it. If not, write good essays :). hope that helped.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. That did help actually. I don't think I'll take it again... I just want that 1400...</p>
<p>no problem, best of luck!</p>
