Take a fourth time?

<p>So after getting my June score it has become really tempting to take the SAT again....</p>

<p>The problem is that I've taken it three times already.</p>

<p>My scores have gone up a lot since I started. They went from 1840 in January to 2000 in March to 2050 in June, giving me a 2060 superscore. My breakdown for June was:</p>

<p>CR: 650
M: 680
W: 720 essay: 9</p>

<p>I know if I really crack down and study math I can break 700 and if I can improve my essay to a 10 I can get a 740ish writing score. I'm so close to that 2100 that I told myself I would get back in January so it's tempting to not stop now and try one more time. </p>

<p>The colleges I'm applying to, for the most part, use score choice and superscoring. So does that mean if I take it a fourth time they won't necessarily know how many times I've taken it? They should only see the scores I send, right? </p>

<p>I'm just looking for some other opinions on this.</p>

<p>Exactly; they will only see the dates you send…just make sure that the schools on your list all use score choice…</p>

<p>Right, that’s the idea. </p>

<p>So as long as the schools use score choice, if I only send 2 scores it will appear as if I only took two exams…making it acceptable to take it a fourth time? I wouldn’t be obsessing over it this much but to be honest the rest of my application is weak and the SAT is one place where I can be in the 75th percentile range for my school choices, and I still feel I have room for improvement.</p>

<p>yeah they won’t know how many times you took it</p>
