Hey guys! I took the SAT in my junior year, but my score wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. Is it possible for me to retake the SAT during my senior year, and if so, will colleges consider the new score? I'm just a little bit stressed about this. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hey there! Yes, it's definitely possible to retake the SAT during your senior year. Many students do this to improve their scores before applying to colleges. Just make sure you're planning for the test dates and their corresponding deadlines so that you can submit your score in time for your college application deadlines.
Colleges will consider the new score if they receive it before their deadline. Some schools even have superscoring policies, which means they'll take the highest score from each section across multiple test dates and combine them for an overall higher score.
Don't worry, you're not alone in feeling stressed about this. Just focus on preparing well for the retake and do your best. You might also want to look into additional resources like test prep books or online courses to help you improve your score. Good luck!
