How many attempts at SAT?

<p>Please advise me. Is it ok to take the SAT 1 a fourth time? I took it twice in my junior year, once in my senior year, but I still believe that I can do better. Is there any reason not to? Will some (ivy) schools look down on this?</p>

<p>I asked the same thing. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=122370[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=122370&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I took it for the fourth time last Saturday. xP</p>

4

<p>Would you take it January? Can you still meet deadlines by then?</p>

5

<p>depends on colleges</p>

6

<p>Depends on how much you think you can improve.</p>

<p>well to make my situation a little clearer, i was deferred from columbia university because of low sat1’s (this is the only reason that i can think of). re-taking and improving would increase those scores and possibly my chacne of acceptance there, but how would it look to the RD schools?</p>

8

<p>im pretty sure the magic number is 3, but 4 should still be acceptable. However past 4 is kinda ridiculous. it’s just way too tiring to continue on.</p>

9

<p>I say 1 retake MAX.</p>

10

<p>If you can improve alot (like 100 or 200 points) then you should take it again. If not, then I don’t suggest that you do.</p>

<p>I say 1 retake MAX.</p>

<p>why?.. theres no limit… if you have the money and you seriously think you can do better than there is no reason to not take it again…</p>

<p>I’m shooting for 3 but 4 is possible</p>
