Quicksandslowly- I want to ask you about the

“I say go for it because for Ivy schools you can take the test up to 3 times without hurting your chances.”

Years ago, I had heard that rule. My son and his friends were then applying to colleges and one friend was in the 3 time test taking situation. I remember hearing that he did not go for more than 3 because “it would hurt him”. Remembering that rule, I mentioned it to a co-worker whose daughter is planning for the multiple test takings with the benefits of Superscoring in mind. She then mentioned it to the school guidance councilor, who stated that there is no number that beyond which a students scores would be harmed. That it was just up to the students willingness to take and the parents willingness to pay. Now I see your post which refers to what I had originally heard. Can you tell me what you understand about this?
