<p>How is this viewed by colleges + the Ivy Leagues? What if your scores stay in the same ballpark (consistently over 700+ in each section). Like...your superscore increases over time but your single sitting score is around the same.</p>

<p>Just curious. thnx</p>

<p>If you're not seeing significant improvement, then stop wasting your time taking the test. I don't think colleges really give a damn, but, really, it's a waste of time.</p>

<p>THen, how would 3 SATs and 1 ACT look like? It seems to trangress the no more than 3 sitting rule by one sitting.</p>

<p>My friend took the SAT once and got a 2340 on it, and then got a really good score on the ACT(something like 35 or 2 within the maximum). Surprisingly he did not submit his SAT score, I guess it was because maybe it wasn't as competitive with the best schools in the nation. You don't have to submit an SAT score if you give an ACT one instead I believe.</p>

<p>"Take it ten times if you want to; it's not going to hurt you," as the Harvard admission officer said. Don't worry about it.</p>
