Hey guys,

I already took the SAT twice. First time I did terrible, because it was my first time and I didn’t really care but whatever, that was stupid of me.

Second time, I did okay… 1930 composite but I know I can do sooo much better than a 640 in math, over 700 for a fact. However, the Reading is what kills me. I never read and my vocabulary sucks compared to the kind of stuff on the SAT (surprisingly I only got 5 SC wrong… idk how).

But my question is, should I take my third SAT in June? And bring my math score up (my reading will probably not go up because I haven’t had time to study due to AP exams, projects, upcoming finals, etc.) I’m thinking of doing this so I will have a ~2000 for colleges to see when applying.

OR Should I take the SAT in October? I would be more confident with this as I will study my ass off with reading stuff like the NY Times, Direct Hits Vocab,etc all Summer long. I am sure I will raise my CR score significantly (from it’s crap 590). But if I do this then October is so late for college applications… and I don’t want colleges to see a 1930 when reviewing me .

OR should I take both the June and October SAT? This is what I want to do but then colleges would see that I took the SAT 4 times…

Anyone want to help me?
