I am in a bit of a dilemma. My state is requiring all juniors to take the SAT in March. However, I am taking the old SAT in four days since my January test got postponed. All of my focus has been directed towards the old SAT, and I have been able to get a 2300+ on several practice tests. If I am able to perform this well in four days, I will have no need for the new SAT, but my state is requiring me to take it.

Will colleges see all scores? I am going to have to take TWO SATs back-to-back. I got a 1400 on the October PSAT (99th percentile). Nevertheless, I feel like my performance on the new SAT may not equate to my performance in four days. What do I do? I will have a useless SAT attempt on my records.

To make matters even worse, the state administration does not include the essay. Hence, if I decide to settle for the new SAT, I am going to have to take it AGAIN in May with the essay.
