Scholarship and admission eligibility depend on your score

If students prepare properly and learn strategies, scores typically increase only 1-2 points each time students take it.

If you have a 24 and you need a 27, you should take it at least two more times.

PREPARE before taking it again. If you do not work, your score will most likely NOT go up.
