I'm taking my SAT very soon, but I have heard about how poorly people do the first time. I start college next year, after 3 classes in high school. Is it that hard? If I do poorly, will I be able to re-take, even though I would already be in college?

If you're going to college next year, haven't you already applied to schools, and possibly even been accepted to some? If not, the new SAT is much more difficult than the old one, be sure to prepare yourself for the essay portion as well as the multiple choice. I would reccomend trying to get your hands an old SAT test and give it a go. I believe you can buy books of them. This website is a good starting point: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/prep_one/prep_one.html Also google "SAT preparation" and see what comes up to find something that may be more specific to your needs. Good luck, let us know how you do :)

The comment isn't working for me, but it may be more helpful if I elaborate anyway, so I may well post it as an answer. Well, here's an explanation on the college situation: I am doing dual enrollment, which is offered through my school and the local community college in which I plan to fill in core credits. The SAT normally would waive the placement test, but since results won't arrive until I actually begin classes, I take a placement test instead. Even if I did bad on the SAT this time around, I would still take classes there. It's just that after I get in my core credits, I'm transferring over to another college, so I am really confused as to whether I can re-take if I am only a part-time high school student. (Not that I'm planning to fail, but if something should ever happen...)

Yeah, you can take the SAT more than once. A number of people take it over again just to see if they can get a better score. Also, I'm not sure if this would apply to your situation or not but the SAT is used as a standardized way to test students for college admission but it is also used as a way to predict how the student will do in their freshman year of college. If you are already accepted in your school then I wouldn't worry about your score too much! Don't stress. You will be fine!
