need to retake ISSE?

My daughter is applying 9th grade private school, she took Nov ISEE test and got three 9s, but her volcab is only 6. She wants to take the Jan test again, if the result is not better we can still use Nov's score to submit. The only disadvantage is we have to wait till Jan to send the score. As other materials e.g. school report won't be available until Jan anyway, I think it will be fine to take another test. However her counselor told her to submit now just to get the ISEE item checked from school list. She said it will be more impressive to see three 9s in Nov than in Jan as students get more time to prepare. But even we ended up using Nov result in Jan’s submission, school can still see the test date, right? so if we submit now, we only lose another chance to try for a better score without getting any benefits. Appreciate your thoughts.

• 如果现有成绩在90%以上没必要再考了。丝糕和私立大学一样, 成绩达标就看其它的东西了。 -Rockeymountain- ♀ (0 bytes) () 11/21/2022 postreply 08:29:23
