<p>Does no one else realize how incredibly ridiculous this thread is? Do you all have no lives at all?
If you’re the kind of person that is obsessed with applying to colleges in sixth grade, then you’re almost certainly not the kind of person that any top college wants. </p>
<p>Also, take a look at the EA results threads from any top college. You’ll quickly realize that after you break 2250 or so, your SAT score matters less than your astrological sign.</p>
<p>I’m sort of relating “taking every sat” to high school experience, not middle school. When you’re a freshman, for instance, you cancel every time since you probably aren’t comfortable with what you’ll get. Then, you have many opportunities to get a good score (not cancel) or a bad score (cancel). In the end, it wouldn’t harm you. You’re a high schooler.</p>
<p>It won’t harm you?
Can you not think of a more meaningful way to spend 18-20 of your Saturdays, not to mention the time you spend studying for them?</p>
<p>I took the SAT twice, and the second time probably wasn’t necessary.
Enjoy high school, don’t spend four years getting ready for one test, which in the grand scheme of things - even in the grande scheme of college admissions - is far less important than you all seem to believe.</p>
<p>@ ICEQUBE O.M.G. If I had to take 16 SAT’s, then I would probably be dead. All I did was 3 practice tests out of the BB, but I’ve only taken it once (yesterday).</p>
<p>You guys must go to some pretty amazing high schools to know multiple people with 2400’s, as there as less than 300 people a year nationally get perfect scores.</p>
<p>My middle school years were a breeze, even though I went to a supposedly academic rigorous middle school, so finding time to study wouldn’t have been a problem. Even if I had just taken a couple of SATs in middle school, I would have been better prepared for the SAT in high school. </p>
<p>The SAT is about timing, and even after having taken 3 PSATs and 2 SATs, I still haven’t gotten the timing down. The breakneck pace you have to work at on the PSAT/SAT has gotten me each time :(. More experience in middle school would have definitely helped.</p>
<p>You can take the SAT as many times as you want and employ score choice to keep the dates you want hidden. Some colleges such as the UC system ask applicants to send all SAT scores however their is no consequence if you do not do so. When using score choice, the score report form for colleges does not look any different than if you did not use score choice (their is no bold text saying APPLICANT USED SCORE CHOICE). Collegeboard by law cannot release any score to colleges that you do not want released. </p>
<p>The only way the colleges may find out if you are withholding scores is by contacting your high school. You can counter this as well however: when signing up for the SAT, do not enter your high school name into the form (it IS optional).</p>
<p>Those are the undisputed facts of the case. The question is now about morals and ethics.</p>
