Just to clarify something, most students do not take SAT in 10th grade. There really is no point in sitting for an official test in 10th, as most students improve over time in both sections. Most students test for the first time in 11th. More advanced students take fall of junior year and August is a popular time for them, following prep over the summer. Less advanced students take spring of junior year.
The final attempt should be before the college application deadline. So, October or December of senior year. Though, I'd certainly recommend trying to be done before then if possible.
Most don't in 10th but plenty of advanced kids do take in 10th grade.
10th grade is perfect time to gauge aptitude leading into NMSF qualification.
You can do that with PSAT10 and SAT practice tests.

Not ideal if they're also trying to get their applications ready
Yeah it’s “not ideal” but if your score is lower than you think you need, you do it anyway.
Idiot.

Best to be done with it Spring of Junior year (March dates work well). Pretty standard schedule is student studies over summer before Junior year, makes first attempt in Fall, studies over winter break and takes second time Spring semester.
