[quote=Anonymous]I tell my kids to try to get it completely wrapped up by the March test.  of course, they can continue past then to try to bump the score up by 10-20 points, and even the September test should get to colleges in time.  But a) they need to have a good idea of their score to know what colleges to target, and b) they will be plenty busy in the summer before senior year (internship or substantive activity/ writing common app essay) that it's difficult to study hard for the August test.

The ideal schedule in my mind is 1) study summer before junior year for August test.  Plenty of time to study without interfering with (hard junior year) class schedule. (My kid also has fall sport)  2) Plan on December (November if no fall sport) retake with some studying  as can be fit in.  3) March as the backup plan.  If they get a good score in December, they can have more free time in Jan-March.  If they don't, they're stuck trying to fit in SAT studying alongside school studying and whatever else they'd enjoy doing with their time.  Not ideal, but certainly feasible.  [/quote]
