Why is the SAT sign-up deadline always before the scores come out?

<p>Seriously, these guys are doing it wrong. It shows that all they really want is your money. The deadline to sign up for the next SAT (at regular price) is always BEFORE you see your scores. So you are in limbo, and pretty much have to sign up again. Is there a logical explanation other than they just want your money?</p>

<p>The ACT is doing it right.</p>

<p>very true. and also if you wait after you see your scores, you have to pay the late fee....</p>

<p>These tests really shouldn't cost more than $25. Obama should send some of that "Stimulus Package" our way so we're not dropping ~$50 each time we test.</p>

<p>I concur. I paid ~$45 for my ACT on Saturday. That is ridiculous for a test. I am going to have to look into getting a waiver.</p>

<p>and they always encourage you to retake their tests btw</p>

<p>It's a bad idea to take consecutive tests. It's not like you'll significantly raise your skill level in less than a month.</p>

<p>I had a bad test day on the ACT. I'm pretty sure my May/June score will be several points higher than my April score. Keep in mind (Outside of CC) people don't study for the SAT/ACT the first time around. Then they crack the books for their second/third tests and do much better.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think it's to discourage you from taking the test back to back... because it's useless.</p>
