<p>I've already taken the new SATs (2240: 720M, 800CR, 720W) and I want to take it again because I know I can improve my writing score. However, I've already taken the old SATs two times, which means that the next time I plan to take the SATs (June) will be my fourth time taking that test. Will colleges count this as my fourth time taking the SATs or my second time? </p>
<p>Also, I'm a junior and I've never studied for the ACT before and my mom all of a sudden wants me to take the test (she says my SAT score right now is too low). She thinks I'll get a 36 if I take a Sylvan course, but I don't think I can pull that off since I only have a month to prepare for that test. </p>
<p>I think it's too late to start preparing for a whole new test and I'd like to just focus on the SAT. I've tried to reason with my mom but she won't hear me out. So can you help me out?</p>
