[quote=Anonymous]OP, it depends on so many specifics, including the student's college list and how their scores have turned out so far. Keep the college list flexible if last minute scores are significantly higher or lower than expected.

Examples: A couple of my kids were one-and-done in Aug of junior year, which was great, but it doesn't always work out that nicely. My oldest (maybe 7 yrs ago) scored terribly on the Aug junior year test and ended up superscoring from a fall junior test date and a fall senior test date, getting her highest verbal Oct senior year. My current junior also had a disappointing August SAT score, much lower than practice test scores. She will take Dec and then a required school day test in spring, but has been so busy she's done no additional prep. For the time being, I'm glad she is focusing on her grades, and I anticipate she will need to take fall of senior year, probably August and then we'll see from there. It's more stressful that way, but it is important to remember that her early app deadlines aren't until November, so it will be worth giving it another go. She has time.[/quote]
