[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DS took the SAT in the spring of his junior year. The 2nd take will be early next month, now senior year. He hasn't done any prep.[/quote]

Why did you decide to wait until spring of junior year? Just trying to figure out why some people test in the fall and others in the spring.[/quote]

Not pp, but DC1 didn't test prior to the spring of junior year because tests scores generally rise with age/education, and DC1 wasn't interested. I could see this clearly in DC's scores -- the PPSAT in sophomore year were in the 1200's, fall junior year, they were in the mid-1300's, SATs at the end of junior year, with prep and superscored, were in the 1500's.  All of those scores were well above the 95% for DC's grade/age at the time which shows you how much they increase with maturity.  DC2, currently a junior, will start prep after fall sport and test in March, then again most likely again in August prior to the start of senior year.  The new August test dates are really nice for seniors.  As much as I am a proponent of waiting, it was very nice for DC1 to be finished by the start of senior year. [/quote]
