<p>Hi people. So, in eighth grade, I took the SAT and scored a 2150. Nearly 3 years later, this past December, I took it again and got a 2190, which is pretty much the same score. How bad would it look to colleges that I scored nearly the same on the SAT after 3 additional years of school (I got into an argument with my parents over this and am curious as to what others think)? Thanks!</p>
<p>Personally, I believe your score is good enough where I think it does not look bad.</p>
<p>Honestly, not bad at all. This is because the SAT does not necessarily test school knowledge; those tests would be the SAT IIs. What this means is that if you were to take it once every school year without preparation specifically focused on the test, you should score approximately the same each time, only if you didn’t gain any experience from each test. Furthermore, I highly doubt colleges will weigh your eighth grade score as heavily as your current score.</p>
<p>Is your 8th grade score still even in the system after 3 years? Have you looked in your account?</p>
<p>Yeah I took the SAT as well in 8th grade, and you don’t send SAT tests before high school to colleges. They’re still in the system, but they’re in storage.</p>
<p>@pmmywest Ok, that’s a relief. Thank you for the information</p>
