When to take SAT & SAT subject tests !

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Hi, I'm currently a junior, about to be upcoming senior.</p>

<p>I've taken 2 SAT so far (March 2012 and May 2012)</p>

<p>I got a 1870 on my March SAT, and May SAT score is about to be released in 3 days.</p>

<p>I don't think i did well on the May one..</p>

<p>I also signed up for the June SAT as well (which is about in 12 days), and that makes my 3rd SAT..</p>

<p>I've heard and read forums that talked about how taking more than 3 SATs is generally bad, and if i don't score well on the June SAT again, I'm afraid i have to take the 4th SAT on October, even 5th SAT on November.</p>

<p>(I really wanted to finish SAT before my senior year because i want to prepare for subject tests and ACT)</p>

<p>So, If i choose to take them again in October, wouldn't that limit my opportunity to take SAT II since they are on the same day?</p>

<p>I'm planning to take subject test for math I, math II, physics, and Korean.</p>

<p>I'll summarize my questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>Would it really look bad if i take more than 3 SATs? (possibly 4.. worst scenario.. 5..) </li>
</ol>

<p>2.Do you guys think taking the June SAT is worth it at this point? Or should I wait until the October SAT? </p>

<p>If i do decide to wait until the October SAT, I'm gonna have hard time preparing for the October SAT along with ACT and 4 other subject tests.. </p>

<p>What do you guys think? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>1: At a non-score choice school, probably. But tons of schools use score choice, still I wouldn’t personally recommend taking it 4 times.</p>

<p>2: I’d prep hard for October. Make sure that you have a reasonable goal though, and don’t let SAT prep distract you from things colleges will find more interesting!</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>
