Too many tests?

<p>I took the SAT Reasoning last May, and got a fairly good score (especially considering I did not study for it). </p>

<p>I'd like to take the SAT again, because I now know what to expect, and I've studied a little more. But I'd also like to take the ACT, because I might score higher. </p>

<p>Would I be taking too many tests if I took the Oct. SAT IIs, the Oct. ACT, and the Nov. SAT Reasoning? I'm not talking about burnout, but rather how colleges will view me taking 3 "reasoning" tests (plus Subject Tests).</p>

<p>p.s. The ACT will be without writing (the writing is not available where I live).</p>

<p>I don't think that's too many tests at all.</p>

<p>Remember that you don't have to send your SAT or ACT scores to schools until you know how you did...except that you might be running up against admissions deadlines. If you have enough time to get your scores and then send them, wait and only send the scores that put you in the best light. If the schools <em>require</em> SAT IIs, then send them your SAT scores right off the bat.</p>

<p>mary, that's not too many tests. However, I have one concern, will the colleges you're applying to accept the ACT w/o writing? You might want to double check as I recall seeing the writing part required by many schools. Just a thought as it won't do you any good to take the ACT if it won't fulfill their requirements. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thank you PeteSAT and entomom!</p>

<p>Pete: That's a good idea, but I don't know if I'll be able to hold my scores-- because of admissions deadlines.</p>

<p>entomom: My first choice school says that they WILL accept the ACT without Writing IF you also submit scores from the SAT Reasoning with Writing. So I think I should be OK as long as I also submit my SAT w/Writing.</p>
