Hello everyone,
I recently just got back my scores from the June SAT. I scored decently and this was my highest score so far with 680 reading and 700 Math, so 1380 total. It was my third time taking the SAT (And I have also taken the ACT once)
My question is, is it worth it to retake the SAT? My scores aren’t necessarily bad, but I am confident that with some extra studying and prepping I could bump my score up, hopefully at least into the 1400s. Some people have told me that over-testing can hurt your application if you’re not really improving much, however. Is there such thing as taking the SAT “too many times” or should I try for it again? Another idea would be to study and retake it, and wait and see if the scores are even worth sending. Is this a good idea or no? I am applying to USAFA and USNA, in case anybody is wondering. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance!
