[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child has a shot at NMSF, they should be taking it the summer before sophomore year. That will give you a baseline if it is worth putting in the effort at getting NMSF. Also, there is zero downside to taking it multiple times. It is the way the system is set up. Except for the humble braggarts of the world, doesn't matter if your 1550 is from one sitting or 5. [/quote] There is zero [i]intrinsic[/i] downside to taking it multiple times. There can be opportunity costs, however, and psychic costs. Nearly everyone cuts their losses at some point. Even the people bragging about one-and-done 1580s—they all decided not to keep going in the hopes of hitting 1600. For a lot of kids 2-3 times is the most reasonable number. That’s enough to get out the jitters and lock in on prep, if the kid is ever going to lock in on prep. But it’s a case-by-case decision, because the limiting consideration is not the test, but the child. [/quote]
