<p>The new policy is that you can choose whether or not to send your SAT scores. Colleges may not even know that you took it a second time (if you do). That being said, quite a few people take the SAT multiple times and receive lower scores their second try. As long as it’s not drastically lower, it won’t really affect you negatively because colleges look at SAT scores in ranges anyway. Also, some schools may superscore you, so you could end up with a higher score in the end after taking it twice.</p>
