<p>"the inconvenience of an extra day spent on the test."</p>
<p>I don't take it as correcting me, but rather correcting the GC. That's why I come here, for other opinions.</p>

<p>"In fact, it would be better to take one of the tests twice than to take both of them once, since scores tend to rise on the second try by a margin that outpaces the average difference between the two scores."</p>
<p>OTH, it's my impression that it's not just the few hours to take the test, but rather the many hours to prepare, so that you do better than the "college board retake" statistics suggest. For my daughter I'd have to help her weigh these commitments against her grades, extracurriculars, applications, essays, college tours, other standardized tests (ACT, subject tests), and preparing for them. And I mustn't forget "Chilaxin"!</p>
