<p>Hi guys, last year I took SAT 3 times. Didn't really study much, so I did quite bad for all of them. (1730, 2060, 1980) Now I am considering doing a gap year and take the test 1 last time. If I can get say 2300+ this time would it help with my application significantly? Tell me what you think, really appreciate it!!</p>
<p>Do you think you will actually score much higher? If so, take it a fourth time. But if you’re only going to score about the same (statistics say you probably will), don’t take it another time.</p>
<p>The problem is you did not study much before retake. A total waste of money, time, and your opportunity. What is your superscore? Why don’t you apply for any school this year?</p>
<p>Yeah I know… My superscore is 2110. I did apply this year and got into ucla, UCSD and usc. Want to try again for maybe Cornell next year. I have to serve my national service in my country anyway. So do you think it helps to take one more time Bill?</p>
<p>If you can get your score above a 2300, then I would definitely suggest retaking it</p>
<p>Then why do you want to take a gap year. Just enroll UCLA, USC, or UCSD and then transfer next year.</p>
<p>You’re going to take a gap year just to retake the SATs? You might not even get into Cornell… The schools you got into are great, but since it is past May- can you still accept their offer?</p>
<p>Coz I have to serve my national service before college. I can only enroll earliest in 2015. I already accepted usc but just want to apply again next year…</p>
<p>Ok thanks so much guys for your replies! I think I’ll retake once more.</p>
