<p>I want to my SATs for a 3rd time in November of my senior year, I'm taking it 1st and 2nd time in March and June in my junior year. But for example, Cornell and NYU early decision deadline is Nov. 8th I think, so wouldn't that not allow me to send in my SAT 3rd time scores? I really have no clue, anyone explain it to me?</p>
<p>That is a year from now! Plan instead to get your testing done during junior year.</p>
<p>Why not take the October SAT instead of the November one? Or even better, take January/March/June in your junior year?</p>
<p>or, you know, study enough that you’re happy with your scores the second (or even first) time around.</p>
<p>Yea but the problem is I’m not ready for January at all. And I can’t take it in October because I have to take SAT MATH 2 in October…</p>
<p>Hello? What about January SATs then March SATs, and then AP/SAT II Bio and AP Chinese in May and SAT II Math Level 2 in June?
And potentially Oct 3rd time SATs…</p>
<p>Then I’ll have to study now until January :/</p>
<p>You have to email your ED/EA college(s) and ask it/them whether they’ll accept the Nov SAT score for ED.
An option is taking the ACT, since there’s no jaunary date but there’s a September date: you study during the Spring and over the summer. 
And no conflict with the SAT Subjects in October.
Note: many students choose to take Math2 in June.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of anyone planning to take the SAT 3x before they’ve taken it once. Am I missing something?</p>
<p>Instead of planning for 3 SATs, why not plan for one each of SAT and ACT in junior year, then (if necessary) do additional preparation and retake the initially higher one in senior year. Some students do better on one test compared to the other.</p>
<p>Also, wouldn’t taking math level 2 at the end of junior year be the best time, if you will be completing precalculus and trigonometry then? You can take up to three on one day, so you can just use the June test day for all three SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>So the 2014 schedule can be:</p>
<p>SAT reasoning test: 1/25, 3/8, or 5/3 (pick one)
ACT: 2/8, 4/12, or 6/14 (pick one)
AP: 5/5 - 5/9, 5/12 - 5/16 (based on which AP tests you will take)
SAT subject tests: 6/7 (up to 3 tests)</p>
<p>Then, if you are not satisfied with your SAT reasoning and ACT scores, you can do additional preparation and retest one of them early in your senior year.</p>
<p>Lol well yea that’s a 2nd option…I know Cornell accepts only Oct SAT I’s and Nov SAT II’s. So I guess I’ll have to go with that…</p>
<p>I’m afraid I’ll get a bad score if I take it in January, I need to get at least a 400 point increase, so around a 2100…
And I have a Science Fair Project right around that time, between January and March, lol.</p>
<p>In your other thread, you mentioned being from a low income family. NYU does not have a good financial aid reputation. Be sure to run net price calculators on every school in your application list. Do not apply ED to a school where you are unlikely to get enough financial aid to attend.</p>
<p>Also, if there are questions about your father’s status as it relates to financial aid, you may want to include some full ride merit scholarship schools in your application list. Look in the sticky threads at the top of the financial aid and scholarships forum section.</p>
<p>Yeah I know NYU doesn’t but I like the school, oh well.
I’m looking for ED for Cornell, and thank you.</p>
