Taking the SAT multiple times.

<p>Do colleges care if i take the SAT more than 2 times?
Would it effect how they grade my admission?
Would it be wise if i take the SAT 3 times?</p>

<p>Sometimes – but rare. Sometimes – but rare. Depends if you can foresee a noticeable jump and if the colleges you’re targeting frown on it.</p>

<p>What types of schools are you targeting? For example, Yale has said that they view a person who achieves 2300 SAT on the 4th attempt differently than someone who achieves 2280 on a single attempt. Makes sense, no?</p>

<p>But for you, if you honestly think you can boost it and you’re not applying to the ultra selective schools, retaking can be worth it definitely.</p>

<p>Keep taking it. For schools that superscore, they will take your highest scores. I don’t think they will say, “yes, we superscore, but this guy took the exam 4 times, so we are not going to treat this student’s scores the same as a guy who only took the exam once or twice”.</p>

<p>You are simply following the rules that they laid out.</p>

<p>What are your current SAT Scores, and what do you think you can achieve?</p>

<p>If you already have high scores – say over 2200 superscored, it’s probably not worth your while.</p>

<p>If you took the test 3 times, and you consistently score in the 1800-1900, do you have a reason that you can get a higher score now. And if so, how much.</p>

<p>Basically, unless you think that you can improve significantly, you might find better uses for your time.</p>

<p>What kind of schools are you applying to. Many schools do not care how many times you take the test.</p>

<p>Also, WHEN did you take these tests? If you took them over a period of a year or two (rather than back to back to back), top schools understand that a person might test 3-4 times over a few years.</p>

<p>That said…taking 3 times should not be a concern.</p>

<p>As T26E4 stated:</p>

<p>[No</a> choice on scores | Yale Daily News](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2009/jan/16/no-choice-on-scores/]No”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2009/jan/16/no-choice-on-scores/)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>While it may not matter at most schools, there are some that state that it is a factor that is considered. So as others have said, it depends on the school.</p>

<p>around a 1900 my first time. i’m taking it again in october reaching to a 2000. but can i take it another time in november? i’ll definite get 2100 (my goal)</p>

<p>Why not just nix the Oct. sitting and wait until Nov since you’re planning to take it then anyway?</p>

<p>You can take it 3 times if you wish. But only if you think you have room to improve.</p>
