Too many sats?

Applying to College
1

<p>Okay so my parents want me to take the october sat to improve on my scores one last time as a senior, but im thinking i might have taken it too many times already. Back in freshman year my parents were crazy and made me take a bunch of sats and im not sure itll look bad if i take them again for the sixth time.
here's my sat transcript</p>

<p>06/2007 SAT Subject Test Physics 690 </p>

<p>05/2007 SAT Subject Test Mathematics Level 1 710<br>
U.S. History 750 </p>

<p>03/2007 SAT Reasoning Test </p>

<p>Critical Reading 670<br>
Math 760<br>
Writing 720 </p>

<p>01/2007 SAT Reasoning Test<br>

<p>06/2006 SAT Reasoning Test </p>

<p>Critical Reading 700<br>

<p>will those early sats count against me? would it be worth it to take the sats one last time to try for a 2300? or are those scores good enough? would improving my sat II math scores benefit me more instead? sorry about all the question xD
thanks for any advice</p>

<p>Umm… I usually advise people not to take the SAT Reasoning Tests more than three times. Five is already a bit much. Your highest scores look fine, you should have a decent shot at many good schools.</p>

<p>If you want to improve something, you can work on your subject test scores (physics, math). Also, since you took the first two SATs early in school, I wouldn’t worry much about them. Most schools superscore anyway, so you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Why retake? Your SAT score is 2210 which is quite competitive.</p>

<p>The improvement scale is quite interesting</p>

4

<p>All any college will do is write down the highest score in each section. Then they move on.</p>

<p>Your scores are fine, though. Unless you’ve done some intense tutoring they may actually go down instead of up.</p>

<p>This might be a good thread for your parents to read: </p>

<p>It may be a good idea to mention that your parents advised you to take the SAT so many times. Are you a first-generation immigrant yourself, or American-born?</p>
