[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our school kids take PSAT in 10th and then there’s a choice of sat vs psat in 11th. Then sat in 12th

This topic makes me think maybe it’s better to take sat in 10 and psat in 11 if he scores high on sat?[/quote]

Most kids take PSAT in 10th.  If you are trying for national merit you retake the PSAT in 11th.  SAT is generally in the junior year to help guide the application process senior year.

If you are trying for national merit it may make sense to take the SAT late summer/early fall junior year as practice for the PSAT.

Beyond that people time their SAT to factors that are unique to them like how many times they expect to take it, when they have availability to study, etc.

I know there is a fascination with “one and done” for the SAT, but realistically you can take it several times so there is no real disadvantage to taking it early to get a sense of where you are at if you don’t mind taking it repeatedly and/or aren’t applying to Georgetown.[/quote]
