[quote=Anonymous]DC decided to take the SAT first based on his pretty good PSAT score. If your kid doesn't have a good PSAT score, then try a timed practice ACT to see what the baseline is and go from there. Some kids do about the same on both tests and it will be a toss-up. As it turns out, DC did a little better on the ACT, but he didn't really do any prep for either of them - just took them one time each after a practice test that turned out pretty well. It doesn't have to be an agonizing decision or involve a lot of prep. See where your kid is before you automatically commit him to a ton of prep. As for subject tests, it's hard to know before you have a general idea of what is going to be on the college list. My junior doesn't have a list yet, but he also probably doesn't have the grades to be competitive for the selective schools that requires/strongly recommend SAT subject tests. [/quote]
