I have taken the SAT twice. The first time was a 1570. The second time I took it, I got a 1740 (630 Math 600 Writing 510 Critical Reading)
In August, I will be a high school senior and will apply to colleges soon. Two of the colleges I want to apply to are Harvard and Stanford. I feel like my SAT score is awful for them. So should I the SAT for the third time this fall, or is that too much? I know those schools do not just look at SAT scores, but my extracurriculars are not godlike. And if I should take the SAT thrice, how do I raise my score to 2000+ ?
Honestly I want at least a 2250+ but I think 2000 is more reasonable at the moment. If I can get a 2000 on practice tests, then Ill focus on trying to get a 2250+.
