<p>I took the June SAT, but I do not think that I did well on it. However, it was my third try and some CC'ers said that colleges start averaging all your SAT scores together if you take the SAT a fourth time. Is this really true or just a rumor. Also, if it is true, which of the following schools average the SAT after the fourth time. I really want to take it a fourth time.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Rice
Stanford
Northwestern
Chicago
Wash. in St. L
Carnegie Mellon
Vanderbilt</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure schools just look at the best score from each section.</p>
<p>In any case, you should confirm by looking at their admission procedures on their websites.</p>
<p>Most schools I believe receive all your scores on your transcript, but will consider your highest average, composite, score, at least that's my understanding.</p>
<p>I believe Vanderbilt said they look at your highest combined score when I visited.</p>
<p>most colleges look at your best from one sitting (i.e. 1340, 1450, 1370; they'd pick the 1450)</p>
<p>also, if you didn't do good on your first 3, you're not gonna do good on your fourth, fifth, sixth, etc.</p>
<p>Actually...most colleges take your best combined score, so if you get an 800 M one time and a 730M another time, they only consider the 800...but yeah, they wouldn't average your test scores, taking a test a fourth time is just considered slightly excessive</p>
