When should you stop taking the SAT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I’m trying to decide whether or not to continue taking the SAT and shoot for a higher score - I got a 2280 on the October SAT; 800 CR, 750 M and 730 W. Trying to improve my score would mean taking more prep and time out of trying to fix my lagging subjects in school (French & Pre-Calc) and might hurt my GPA (which is going to be brought down from first quarter, junior year is tough!) I’m shooting for an Ivy, Northwestern or Georgetown with an eventual poli-sci major. Your thoughts?</p>

<p>Do you realize how few questions you had to miss to get those scores? (by the way, congratulations).
At this level I don’t think the extra prepping will make any difference. You should concentrate on your classes and your GPA plus the Ivies will require SATIIs also. If you do take it again late in your Jr year or early Sr, you should do better by sheer maturity (remember there is superscoring).</p>

<p>You should stop taking the SAT when it starts to hurt your grades.</p>

<p>Stop now. Feel good. It will not make any difference.</p>
