[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I genuinely don’t understand the responses here. Assuming retaking doesn’t add much stress/take time away for the kid, given that most schools superscore, why not take another stab?  I ask because DC had a similar score but retested and now has a significantly higher superscore.  Sure, it might not matter in the end, but maybe it could, given superscoring. [/quote]

I think the key is “assuming it doesn’t add much stress.”

My kid took sat as “practice”  in spring of 10th grade (on rec of college counselor to see how much if any prep was called for) with minimal prep (took a look at khan academy and that’s it) and got a 1540.

My first thought was of course “great score!” But also, “maybe give it one more shot summer after junior year!” but it was clear that even one more test would have been a drag to her even if she didn’t prep at all-it just felt so good to have it crossed off her list.

She very likely would have taken it again if I had pressed at all but I didn’t and she got into her first choice (and was really conscious of feeling happy/relieved she was done w the sat.) [/quote]
