What Happens If Your Sat Score Increases 300-400 Points From The Last Test?
I took the test in May and if, for example, I increased my score by 300-400 points by the October SAT test date, would anything happen?
I heard that they hand score tests and they might even give you a one-on-one test?
Does anybody know what happens?
I increased my score a couple hundred points the second time I took the SATs and it just helped me get better college opportunities. They won’t investigate or question you for improving. That’s the point of taking them a second time
Hi Blair,
If your SAT score goes up by such points, it would look very great. Don’t worry about cheating.
Now, if you were scoring in 1000′s and on second SAT within couple months (not summer), you end up with like 2300′s and your GPA’s low… then, maybe, they’ll be suspicious, but who knows, the person might be an amazing guesser. Ha!
You can get Collegeboard to hand score the tests if you pay them. I’ve heard about these events in which students bubbled the right answer but forgot to erase the wrong one clearly. It’s worth a try for anyone who has doubts.
And just to comment on last person’s post, SOME colleges take best scores from each date. OTHERS do NOT. You have to check with school.
The SAT test is, as we know, a standardized test (otherwise known as the Suck A** Test).
If your scores go up about 300-400 points, then your score goes up and it just looks that much better on your college application. I doubt anything special happens.
If you have any other questions, the CollegeBoard.org (.com?) should have an FAQ you can look at.
Well good job, I mean I don’t know if they would see that as a problem. I think only if your score is VERY high and it was VERY low before they might look into it. They might try to investigate it but in the end nothing will really happen.
idk wtf u are tlkn about but if your score increases then good
thats what is suppose to happen after you take it a second time as for colleges they take the highest score from each particular test then combine them.
That is possible because they may suspect you cheated somehow.
