<p>Today she says, “even if you get an excellent score on your SATs the first time, you should always take them a second time so you don’t appear arrogant.” So it’s now arrogant to do well on the SATs the first time and not want to waste your money by taking them again for no reason?!?! That infuriated me.</p>
<p>Maybe she means “so you don’t appear lucky” so if you get a good score twice, you look consistent
but that’s dumb cause you only submit one score
don’t listen to her</p>
<p>Actually I would take it again UNLESS you got a perfect 2400, if you do well, then there’s a good chance that you’ll do even better the second time be it due to super scoring or just simply being better in all sections. Though i disagree about the guidance counselor’s reasoning, I would most likely take the test again</p>
<p>If I get 2250 the first time, I’m not retaking. No way.</p>
<p>You should take the test over and over until your college savings have evaporated and you’re reduced to defrauding the government for undeserved Pell grants by setting up dummy colleges and bribing inspectors. Yeah, you’ll be bankrupt, lonely, and miserable, but at least you’ll have that 2400 that will get you into Harvard as soon as you’ve finished serving your state and federal prison terms.</p>
<p>That’s bad advice.</p>
<p>I disagree. That’s excellent advice.</p>
<p>I guess you could retake the SAT 1 or 2 more times, but the more the worse.</p>
<p>Colleges would rather you get a good score once than get a good score after 4 or 5 times</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please elaborate; I do not see your point.</p>
<p>It was sarcasm.</p>
<p>sarcasm doesn’t translate too well over the interwebs</p>
<p>She doesn’t seem like a smart counselor…</p>
<p>I could definitely confirm that she only knows things about getting loads of merit based aid at St. Joseph’s.</p>
