[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking it again will not only be a waste of time, it will be a major distraction. She should be putting her energy this summer into her essays. Parents should check the common data set for each school she’s interested in, look at section C7 where they have a grid listing 19 separate items that factor into a school’s decision making for admissions. Come up with a plan for his to present her application to each of the schools she’ll apply to, given whatever is listed as most important on that grid. It takes time to do this for each school.

Overemphasizing test scores is ignoring the fact that a number of other factors go into admissions decisions. Those other factors need at least as much time as has gone into test prep and taking the tests. Once she has gotten a 1520, she’s already aced the test. Congratulate her, Pat her on the back, and move forward to the next things that will actually be more significant at this point in gaining admission to wherever she wants to go.[/quote]

Yes!!! She has already earned her "lottery ticket" to the top schools for the test portion.  The 30 points difference on the SAT won't matter[/quote]
