[quote=Anonymous]It is somewhat dependent on what schools she is targeting and what she wants to study. Generally speaking an expert will tell you that a school does not see a material difference between a 1520 and a 1550. But if your daughter scored an 800 on the verbal and a 720 on the math but is really aiming for a top, top stem program (MIT, Cal Tech, etc), then you might be advised to try again. For the vast majority of applicants, however, I think a 1520 is adequate and she should focus on improving other parts of her application. I don't think three times is too many, but I did hear an AO at an information session this year say that he had reviewed the application of a candidate who had taken the test seven times with a mediocre GPA. He made the point that that student should have worried more about his GPA and less about his test scores. [/quote]
