Taking the SAT for the fourth time?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hello everybody,</p>

<p>I was wondering if doing this would look ridiculous in the eyes of college admissions officers. After three gruesome SAT’s, I have never received a score in critical reading that I have been happy with.</p>

<p>To quantify this…</p>

<p>Test 1: CR - 680
Test 2: CR - 680
Test 3: CR - 670</p>

<p>I am reasonably confident that I can score at least 700.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Those are pretty consistent scores; I think that, at this point, even if you managed to improve considerably colleges would be a little suspicious about the sudden improvement (Did he cheat?; Did he get lucky?; et cetera).</p>

<p>Edit: Still, 700+ is a much better score than a 6xx, and in the end it might be worth the time and the risk to go for it.</p>

<p>ScoreChoice out one of the tests? It shouldn’t hurt your superscore if one of those tests has no influence on the superscore.</p>

<p>Unless you’re applying to upenn, cornell, yale, or stanford, you can scorechoice, so I would say take it one more time. And this time, only study CR before the test, I mean u do hav 800s in the other two.</p>

<p>if you were confident the other 3 times you took it that you’d score a 700 and you didn’t, whats the difference THIS time. is 4 your lucky number lol</p>
