<p>I have taken SAT I 3 times so far</p>
<p>1st: 1740 oct last year
2nd: 1980 Jan
3rd: i just took it this oct but i didn't feel like i did better than 1980, but i could be wrong. i alreayd signed up for the novmber test and i'll study harder for that.</p>
<p>my question is, should i cancel my oct score? or have 4 test scores show up?</p>
<p>Do UCs not like it when people take it more that 3 times? especially when they didn't improve one time? do they average or care about how many times people take the SAT?</p>
<p>Since you have a lot of room for improvement, I recommend you take it a 4th time.</p>
<p>This time study…</p>
<p>i plan to take the november one anyway, but my question is should i cancel my october one? because i don’t really want 4 scores to show up</p>
<p>How sure are you that you did worse?</p>
<p>like 60% sure… i panicked when i saw the writing prompt and i kinda panicked the whole way through… and i have a icky feeling about it.</p>
<p>I would cancel then.</p>
<p>Heres why:</p>
<p>Even if by some off chance you did better, it would probably not be by much. Lets say you got around a 2050… well you can still score higher than that your next time around. I would cancel and then study a TON hoping to drive home a 2100+, that way ensuring that this last retake is worth it.</p>
<p>alright thanks! does nov SAT normally seems “easier” than Oct SAT?</p>
<p>not really… all SATs are supposed to be the same difficulty.</p>
<p>if i cancel the score, can colleges see the history of it, like will they know that i took the SAT I in Oct and it’s cancelled? or they won’t know ANYTHING</p>
<p>regarding harder or easier tests, the “curves” are adjusted based on test/question difficulty. thus if you have a very hard test, you can miss more which would give you the same score as someone who had an easy test and missed less.</p>
