[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the downside of taking it in 9th? Are you required to send those scores when you apply to college? I don't understand why you wouldn't just take it every year until you get the score you want.[/quote] The downside is the cost and your time for what will likely be a score that doesn’t reflect anything close to your best. Even if the kid is done with algebra 2 and ready for the math section (though my DS who got 780 on the math portion says there’s absolutely pre calculus on the SAT), the verbal will improve leaps and bounds after some high school English. There’s just not much upside and a million better ways to use your time. [/quote] Wouldn't the upside be getting acclimated and help take away some test day nerves? Better use of your time maybe, but it's one day.[/quote]
