<p>im a sophomore in high school, and i was wonderin when i should take my SAT I. also, howmuch time should i devote to studyin for it? i already got the kaplan and princeton book, jus havent started studyin for it yet. </p>
<p>p.s. i only got a 140 on my psat, and im aiming for atleast a 2150 on my sat</p>
<p>Well, sicne you didn't do as well on your PSAT as you're looking to do on the SAT, I would suggest that you think about how you're going to plan your studying around taking the test. </p>
<p>I took my first SAT at the end of the equivalent of sophomore year, and I feel that that was good timing.</p>
<p>Wouldn't hurt to take it end of this year if you find the time to study for it. Otherwise, aim for next fall and make yourself study over the summer.</p>
<p>spring and either late fall or early winter of your junior year.
fall of your senior year.</p>
<p>yea, take it before November. I was in your shoe last year and i took my last ACT in december, leaving me unqualified for many many merit aid opportunities. I regret it deeply.</p>
<p>so ill take it this spring. then fall and spring for my junior year. and fall of my senior year if im not satisfied wit my score. do u think colleges will like it if i take if more than 3 times? or is that jus some dumb rumor?</p>
<p>dumb rumor. They don't care as long as it's not 5 times. It's just that a student usually performs to his or her max level after 2 times.</p>
<p>if your scores keep increasing they really shouldn't care that much.</p>
<p>of course there're also the people who take it 12 times...</p>
<p>I would study as best you can between retakes so that you don't have to take it 4 times. The SAT sucks.</p>
<p>yeah, it does. I took it twice and my scores didn't change much, but I ran out of time to retake. that's why taking early is good. but spread it out, you don't need every test date.</p>
