Wait, if you take the SAT as a freshman, you can’t use it to apply to colleges. Not to mention, you’ll most likely be using the new SAT for your college apps. Also, it would be nice to note what’s real and what you have planned, just so we can tell the difference.

@michelle426 is wrong about SAT scores. Freshman scores can be used for college apps, and I would recommend using that one and not taking the new one.

@jackrabbit14 sorry. At my school, people tell us you can’t do that. Also, we don’t know whether or not that’s OP’s real SAT score (if it is, fantastic. He can keep it.) because they said some of the stuff is predicted/planned.
