<p>xiggi, taking the SAT in March of junior year without preparation is not all that risky. There are several more opportunities to take the test again, and you never know, you could get lucky in March and be done with it. My daughter took all her tests just once. Her scores were fine, they could be higher but they’ll do and she is like her older brother–hears a different drummer–and has no interest in SAT test “puzzles”.</p>
