First Time SAT/ACT Scores

How many people gets an Ivy-bound SAT/ACT score in the first sitting? I feel like getting a great score 1st try would be great: less time spend + less money for Collegeboard.

Hmmm I’m not sure about exact number but I feel like around me maybe 20% get it first try but most take the SATs 2-3 times. I would not recommend taking the SATs just to “get a feel” or “see what I can get”.
