[quote=Anonymous][quote]Once you take a test, it takes a few weeks to get your scores. This dates are published on the testing sites. The common application is released in July. Without scores, how do you know where to apply? Without scores, how do you know what colleges to consider and visit? Using the March test as a "practice" is risky.[/quote]

There are also SATs and ACTs in June, which is after March.

The Common App is released in July, but who is submitting it in July?  A student can fill out the basic info and work on the general essay before they know where they are applying.  High schools are certainly not sending rec letters and transcripts in the middle of July - they collect all of the students' application deadlines at the beginning of the school year and prioritize their work based on those dates.

My junior did his testing in the fall (I knew he would never prep and through he might as well get it over with) but there is not "right" or "wrong" way to do it and taking the first test in March is not "risky" or reason for alarm.  Even though he is done with testing, I don't expect him to have a college list finalized by July - he's not interested in the college search process yet.[/quote]
