<p>I actually signed up to ask this question. I am an international student and I have already taken the SATs for three times, but I screwed up the latest 2 of them. I am thinking about taking the test for a fourth time in December, but I also know that taking the test for more than 3 times is not a good thing to colleges.
So my question is, for those schools that accept the use of Score Choice, will they know the fact that I take the SATs for 4 times?
For example, if I have 4 score results and I choose to send the first and the last one, will the college know that I actually take the SAT for 4 times and that the second and the third scores are not sent?
Also, for those schools that do not participate in the Score Choice, such as Cornell and the UCs, will they know that I have not sent my last SAT result if I hand in my application before December?</p>
<p>Is there anyone who can help me ? Plz, this is very important to me. Thx</p>
<p>Bump! i want to know as well.</p>
<p>What I do know is that the highest scores you list on your commonapp are from different months … for example 750CR in January, 710W in Oct, 710M in December. Then the schools will know that you took the SAT at least 3 times.</p>
<p>@offtounihahaha
Finally there is someone interested in this topic! Can other people possibly answer our questions?</p>
<p>I heard if you take it more than 3 times, collegeboard will average all your scores and then send it… i do not recommend taking it 4 times…</p>
<p>This is a good question. How many times should I take the SAT?</p>
<p>At the most, I would only take it twice - 3 times if you absolutely must. I plan on taking the SATs for the second time in January, and hopefully that’ll be the last time!</p>
<p>You can select which scores you send and schools will not know about test sittings you don’t send them.</p>
