In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood topics in college admissions — how many times you should take the SAT or ACT.

We cover the ideal test scores for top colleges, explain why retaking the tests carries virtually no downside, how to think about risk vs. reward, and why one top college’s “submit all scores” policy doesn’t change the strategy for most students.
