What should I do?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I'm a senior now. I've taken the SAT twice already. I took Kaplan Prep, but did not really learn much from it (or put much effort into it). You could say I didn't really study. I took the test for a second time hoping I'd magically just do better. I actually would've canceled my second scores because I thought I did so badly, but let them go through anyway. </p>

<h1>1 February or March 2008</h1>

<p>CR:590
M:580
W:560 </p>

<h1>2 October 2008</h1>

<p>CR:630
M:560
W: 550</p>

<p>=
1210/1600
1770/2400</p>

<p>Bad, I know. It's not ideal to just take it for a third time soon (seeing as I wouldn't have time to study and am applying to colleges now). But I do think it would be worthwhile to take it again later in the year after applications in case I want to transfer after my freshman or sophomore year of college (which is highly likely). Basically, I'm trying to get my **** together now for college. </p>

<p>So I hear if I take the SAT again during high school, colleges will still see it as legitimate if I decide to transfer. But I've already taken it twice. Not sure how many more times I can take it without looking terrible. My goal would be to get at least 2100 (700 on all three). If three is the max times to take it without looking bad, that would mean I'd have one chance to get that score. I don't know how feasible this is. Can I take it more than three times? Would it be easy to get that score in one try? How much work do you think I'd have to put in? How should I do it? Thoughts? Recommendations?</p>

<p>THANKS A LOT!</p>

<p>coming from a SUPERSCORED 1770 (that's not single sitting.) it will be hard, but it is possible. </p>

<p>but don't set your goal at 2100 for now, first work on trying to get an 1800 single sitting (all 600's) then gradually increase from there.</p>

<p>it's not an easy score to get in one shot.... </p>

<p>although i do find you taking the SATs after the college admissions process pointless. after your sophomore year in college i don't think many schools look at your SATs anymore.</p>

<p>After sophomore year you're probably right. But don't you think after freshman year they'll still matter? If not, I guess I should just give up on it. And thanks for the tips.</p>
