[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for most kids it makes sense to wait. Scores are likely to be higher by the end of jr year. [/quote] I think it depends on the kid. I'm the poster whose son tested in December. He didn't want an August test date because he could tell that he had "summer brain". But in the spring he had sports, AP exams, and college visits. So over the summer he took a practice ACT and SAT so he could choose one, we found the prep program he would use, and he started prepping in August and tested in early December. He remarked several times in the spring he was relieved to not have the SAT to worry about. Plus, having a score early gave him as clearer picture of which schools to look at. Obviously, though, if your kid hasn't had the right level of math yet (I think Algebra 2), they should wait. Or if they play a fall sport, or have some other intense fall activity, they may want to wait.[/quote]
