<p>I THINK I'M GONNA SCREAM. YIPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>How many times are you going to take this thing before you graduate? O.o</p>

<p>Nice Job :)</p>

<p>That's $120! Gee whiz! you must loooove to study or something (or a gluten for punishment) since you are a 8th grader. those are great scores...but yoU could do soooo much better when you are in High School. Instead of buying 3 tests, you could hve saved up for a nice wii!
Then instead of studing, you'd waste your brain AND excersize your hand.
Naa, just kidding. If you have the will power to study for a SAT at 8th Grade, i salute you.</p>

<p>gahhhh i hated studying for this.</p>

<p>i thought perhaps it'll help if i apply for an online highschool...:D</p>

<p>thanks everyone im still pinching myself.</p>

<p>Get a ****ing life.</p>

<p>PrEpKiD, you make me feel...</p>

<p>let me see if I can find the right word...</p>

<p>inadequate.</p>

<p>Good job.</p>

<p>I think that taking the test many times is a good thing.
I already took it 5 times and I'll take it a 6th time in June and maybe even a 7th in October (although that's unlikely).
By the way: all of those times were in the 11th grade.</p>

<p>it sounds like the SAT is a hobby of yours</p>

<p>Why did you take the test three times in one year...that is ridiculous if you ask me, I understand why 8th graders take the test, both my kids did, but if you continue this pattern in HS, it will hurt you</p>

<p>If you read this site, most people agree that 3 times is enough, and anything more than that is a waste</p>

<p>stuck on 1700- why take it so many times, unless its obvious from your name</p>

<p>try the ACT, many people find it a better fit test wise</p>

<p>well i took those tests in 8th grade because the scores immediately erase if you are not in high school. but this time i shall contact collegeboard and let them know i want to keep the last one.</p>

<p>You can't keep the last one as far as I know...</p>

<p>but why? what reason did you take it so many times? to practice, prove something, show off, what?</p>

<p>why can't i keep the last one?</p>

<p>the reason why i took them was to get a real-life practices of the S.A.T. when you are in 8th grade or 7th grade your scores erase unless you contact collegeboard and tell them not to. i knew that i won't be able to sit for four hours for the first time when i take it as the real deal, so i had these practices- they certainly helped. when i first took it i was so uncomfortable and my butt ached like crazy. but as i did more of that i became a lot more comfortable- sometimes i was so into the test that i felt as if i was not in teh room anymore.</p>

<p>your first try in 8th grade is sixty points higher than my best try in high school...hahaha</p>

<p>ok, i took this test 5 times(all in the 11th grade :( ) already and my highest is 10 pts. lower than what you got on your second test. (April)</p>

<p>good job prepkid!!! you did like 200 points over what i got. great.</p>

<p>Sorry if I sound mean or harsh.</p>

<p>But man, you need a life bud.</p>

<p>3rd time's the charm...hopefully colleges won't see how obsessed you are.</p>

<p>they won't. that's why i took it three times.</p>
