Why was I denied???

<p>Well there you go, I stand corrected!</p>

<p>Keep studying math and keep taking both SATs and ACTs until you hit the jackpot.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I know this was true when I took the SAT/ACT for college, but there is some stigma associated with someone who takes the SAT or ACT more than 3 times. Two is acceptable because maybe you needed to pull your score up (I did it!), but at 3, the schools may start wondering why you have to test so much, and 4 will probably be considered ridiculous.</p>

<p>So, just FYI, don’t keep taking the tests nilly willy, study effectively, and know that you need to do well your next time around (also because you have time constraints of applying before deadlines etc.)</p>

<p>Does Pittsburgh require all scores? If not, keep taking the tests, then when you hit the jackpot, send it in.</p>

<p>You send in the scores where you did the best in a section, and then they put all the best scores together. I’m only taking the ACT for the second time and the SAT one more time and I’m done. I’m putting in all my effort into these tests for real over the next month until I take them, and I think I will improve a lot. I don’t have time to keep taking them, and like AwesomeOpossum said, I can’t keep retaking them, I just have to put in as much effort as I can into these ones and that’s pretty much it. A lot of people I know are doing this too, and these last two test dates for ACT and SAT are basically the last chances for seniors to improve their scores.</p>

<p>Things might have changed but in the past the college board sent a “score report” that showed all scores for all testing dates unless you immediately cancelled a score. Not sure how that works, actually. So yes PITT will take the highest from all “sittings” but all of the scores will be viewable.</p>

<p>They have changed. You can now have them see what you want them to see using Score Choice.</p>
