[quote=Anonymous]If the 1500+ is the first try, sure you should retake. Don’t most kids increase their score after a couple tries?

But if it’s already after 3-4 tries or super scored to get to 1500, then don’t bother bc I have seen it backfire in more than one occasion. Some kids actually do worse by the 4th and 5th try due to testing fatigue and it could really sting their confidence. Also, as parents, we need to remember to put prestige aside. Do you really want to put your 1520 after 5 tries superscore kid in a room full of 1st try 1570 kids and make your DC compete like that for 4 years? Yeah yeah I know you’ll say athletes and donor kids also don’t have 1570 but they have other advantages and you know that’s true.

Plenty of kids do exceedingly well graduating from T25-100 colleges, including many at the top of their industries in our country. Give your DC room to spend time to cultivate other aspects of their app and their life, including their confidence and the innate knowledge that their parents think they and their accomplishments are enough.
