I might be wrong, but don't the new rules on score choice allow you to send only the scores you want the school to see?

If you don't opt for that option, then I guess it would depend on how well you performed on the prior exams. If you prior results were for the most part similar, then, to me, your 4th attempt would just look like a desperate attempt to improve your score. If you were to show steady improvement from each prior attempt, then perhaps that would be different.

I think UVA's policy in their new "paperless" world is that they only see an applicant's super-score...but keep in mind this is not necessarily the case at all colleges/universities.

don't take it a 4th time, some colleges will average your scores rather than take your best scores in each section

"some" as in usually the ivy leagues

No, don't do it, you would be torturing yourself to do so.
Everything will work out. Take a deep breath.

Do you really feel like on the 4th time you're going to improve significantly? If you do, then great! Take it. But if you think you're just nickle and diming it for 10 points here, 10 points there, why in the world would you put yourself through it again? It's not worth the cost of the test. That 10 points that you may improve in one section isn't going to make or break your chances of getting in somewhere. Remember, SATs aren't the only component of your application. Honestly, I think after taking it 3 times, you've probably hit a plateau and you're just hoping for an easy test or small improvement in one or two sections. Not worth it. Your Saturday would be better spent writing admissions essays
