[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is a "good tester" there is zero downside to taking it August, either cold, or after a few hours of a test prep book or Khan Academy (assuming he has access to the internet at camp). Junior year is awful and if he is aiming high for schools getting the test over by October is really really the way to go. [/quote]

Why is junior year so awful? My sophomore already had APs in English, history, and, CS, math..junior year is pretty much more of that [/quote]

It's awful for kids who are aiming high and doing all they can to grind it out before the end of the year when they are ready to start on applications.

My kid had 4 APs sophomore year and 7 Junior year. They had more responsiblities in sports and clubs, and as an upperclassmen, had more leadership roles that were very demanding. They had an internship between that they continued through the school year (extra period, remote). They shot for a lot of competitions that ended up panning out well and the demands were tremendous. We never saw it coming, but it wasn't that unique among their peer group. It was pretty awful. Until it was over. The longest 8-ish months of everyone's lives in our household as far as fast-paced kid stuff. If SAT prep was part of it, it would have been a logistical and emotional nightmare.

Just our experience. [/quote]
