You may also consider the Transfer Alliance Program (TAP). This program is only for UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD. This program is very useful for transfer students and will increase the chance of getting into the UCs listed above.
As long as they take it before the application deadline and sent it to the school is fine. Since SAT can be taken multiple times, you should give yourself enough time for another try if the score is below average.
DS got 35/36 in one take; took 3 SAT subject tests (including world history) scoring all above 780/800. Would be happy to help since test-taking is about efficiency i.e. result/input ratio. Standardized tests aren't worth 48 hours of prep in total (死操卷) or even more (some people spent weeks away from school to prep)--you are better off spending those time on extra-curriculars and iB/DSE!

其實一般初頭做的分數和用做了幾套SAT練習後的分數差距有多少(進步了幾多分)?
小兒曾經做過一份New SAT official paper, 這是他第一次做SAT,以前只考過advanced SCAT,他SAT有700(read n write)和750(maths). 想問問這個分數要再上,應該只用Princeton review之類的練習不断做?定還是出去專補SAT的補習中心的有效呢?
