There are other strategies to employ with the SAT1 if all the Subject Tests have been taken. Send the first test results to every school your kid has ever mentioned. Then retake the SAT. If it sucks, it never sees the light of day. If it’s better - then send it. Remember do NOT send it to the high school till you see what it is. (But if it’s better, be sure to remember to send it. It is really awful to “forget” to do that and cost your kid some chances that only come through the schools. I’d know. :()

(Florida state schools are having the student execute a somewhat cleverly concealed waiver which makes this strategy unavailable to students applying there.- they get ALL scores. Some schools require you to list all scores on the app whenever taken, without asking for the waiver. *I’d send that app early myself. It will be accurate when written. I don’t think they require test updates. *. Heck, at least you know what is happening to you. Watch all app forms , this could be a coming thing.)

(And if anyone feels this level of scheming is unsavory…we’ll stop when they do. See above.)
