Taking SAT FOUR TIMES? Too much??

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>FYI: I have already sent it my first three SAT scores so I can't do score choice.
I'm just wondering if taking the SAT in January for the last time is one too many. I think this would help because my score is currently 2000. I think that I have time to study over the Christmas break and more time in January because I don't really have to worry about second semester senior year.
When I prepped for four days, my scores increased 70 points, so imagine how much I could potentially increase if I prep for three weeks.
Current SAT score: (super score) 2000
I got deferred from WashU in St. Louis and I want to send my January SAT scores to Vassar, Wesleyan, Claremont McKenna College, and Boston College.
I have asked my counselor and she told me that taking it too many times shows the colleges that i'm too grade/score focused.</p>

<p>Please reply ASAP since I have to sign up in 2 days!</p>

<p>YES, retake it if you think your score will improve.

This is mostly a myth, and poor advice. If your score ends up being 2100+ there’s no reason a school is going to look down on it. If schools wanted you to take it a certain number of times they would say so on their website.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about the bright futures scholarship if you don’t live in florida</p>

<p>^^^Pretty satisfactory! Sorry for being overly zealous.</p>

<p>^To whom are you apologizing? What is satisfactory?</p>

<p>To get back to the question that was originally asked. I think by your third attempt you have achieved about the best score you are capable of getting and the chances of doing significantly better on a fourth attempt are minimal. A score of 2000 is pretty good and while it might not get you into Harvard, it will be impressive to many fine colleges and universities.</p>

<p>Please try to remain civil!</p>

<p>Take it if you think your score will improve; if not, then don’t.</p>

<p>I agree that you should take it if you improve alot but i disagree with crazybandit on the issue that colleges don’t care. If a person can get a 2400 on one sitting compared to someone that gets a 2400 through 4-5 sittings, it clearly shows that one applicant clearly has more potential than the other…</p>

<p>Why does it even matter? What if I choose to only send the final and best scores?</p>
