I do not believe that College Board ever publishes the # of students who took a particular Saturday test date.

Have they published # of students who sat in on the SAT today?

it's an additional date that is new this year. my DD took it today but didn't take it in august. not everyone takes both.

DD took both and is a senior and felt it was her last shot before applying ED. She had self prepped so much and felt the Aug test was not reflective of the practice tests and thought she’d be better prepared for Sept. Seems to have been the right strategy.

The same reason why the 99th went from 1500 to 1530--because the CAN, they can take it numerous times now, the CB know about what sells.... im thinking of having mine start it over after the freshman summer, why not?

I agree with you, they choose the the you are getting based on the history of your prior tests.
For example, my kid went down 20 in math and up 40 in english in august while others said august math was easier and verbal harder

yup and kid was happy coming out with just one known wrong, hoping for 800

If it was easy, 800 will likely be for those who got all right.

well, I hope your kids are better at verbal than you because what you stated is what was meant
