<p>hey guys, I am in the class of '10. Do you guy’s think it’s wise for me to take the SAT every month that it’s offered? I can probably cough up the money. I think that it’d be good for me since i dont have to report all scores! Do you guys think it’s a wise idea (dont start about money on this thread, i just wanna know if it’s a good idea or not)</p>
<p>uhhhh no. at the very most, do it every other test date. If you don’t do large amounts of studying in between each test, you won’t see much of an increase in your scores and then your money will be wasted (it’s stupid not to bring up the money).</p>
<p>Also, if you don’t study and you’re caught up with schoolwork – your score may even go down! It’s best to study intensely and then take it rather than “have nothing to lose” and take the SAT every time.</p>
<p>First,send me some of that money, then ill tell you what i think.</p>
<p>Wonder if the SAT will lose its value from this.</p>
<p>it wont, the average still will prolly stay the same because of the difficulty of the test</p>
<p>Hard to believe it won’t. People’s scores will definitely go up if they can take it as many times as they want without any risk. The test is also not that difficult.</p>
<p>k thanks. I think i ll do this : October, December, March and if i dont score that high by march, i ll go for next october (i ll be studying between the test dates).</p>
<p>So this means that even though the score-reporting policy does’nt go into effect until March of 2009, the policy is applied retroactively for the class of '10?</p>
<p>if money is not a problem and it doesn’t affect your school/ec performance I dont see why not…though I think every other test date might be better</p>
<p>^ For the rest of us who do not defecate gold, take it after long periods of study to see improvement…otherwise, what do you expect?</p>
<p>lol let’s just say you are already in that +/- 30 range for 2400, and you’re only not getting that “perfect” score that you feel will make admission into your dream school possible.</p>
<p>then every month will work since it’s probably more about “luck” or your status that particular day that is screwing you up</p>
<p>for the rest of us, I would say more vocab words, practice, strategy, etc. would serve us much better</p>
<p>although if you take those tests that have QAS, then that might be good practice and reflection</p>
<p>one thing is clear: CB will make LOTS AND LOTS more money because of this new policy.</p>
<p>yea its NOT wise for you to take the test so many times, at the very most take it every other time.
it doesnt really help if you dont study a whole lot in between the test dates either.</p>
<p>Nooooooooooooooo</p>
<p>You have to remember any test before the March 2009 administration will be sent.</p>
<p>No. If you choose to not send it, then it won’t be.</p>
<p>@ anhtimmy</p>
<p>is this true? so even if i’m in the class of '10 and i take it in october it’ll still be sent?</p>
<p>If you don’t specify a college then nothing will be sent. If you want to take advantage of the new policy, then you wouldn’t have specified a college either way. anhtimmy doesn’t know what hes talking about.</p>
<p>ah, good to know :P</p>
<p>no. colleges wont like it</p>
