Any test done in high school will show up in SAT report. The conventional wisdom says that student should not take more than 3 times, preferably once or twice. I don't think that you want them to take SAT too early given the limited chances.
What "limited chances?" There's no limit on the number of times kids can take it, though perhaps there's a limit to the number of times they *want* to take it.
And I've never heard anyone say "take the SAT only once." That's not any conventional wisdom I've heard, and it flies in the face of logic. Taking the SAT at least a couple of times makes a lot more sense to me, since practice makes perfect.
I've never heard of an "SAT report" that goes out listing all scores. I'm pretty sure that schools get the *best* score a student has achieved, so the more you take the test, the better your chances for a high score, within reason. There's no penalty--aside from the financial cost of the test itself and the time required to take it--for taking the SAT multiple times.
I don't mean to be argumentative, but I don't think this info is accurate.
