Is it better to take the SAT junior or senior year of high school?

Question

Im about to be a junior and I need some advice. Thanks!

Answer 1

take the PSATs beginning of your junior year, and the SATs at the end (in may or june). then take the SATs again in the beginning of your senior year (in september or october).

also look into taking the ACTs too. they're easier and most colleges accept them.

Answer 2

definitely junior year. your school will probably arrange for your class to take the PSATs in the beginning of your year, the  you should take your SATs in the spring or maybe even the summer.

colleges start accepting applications in september already, so basically as soon as you start your senior year, and they need your test results, so if you take the SAT in your senior and have to wait for test results you wopnt be able to send applications until winter when spots have already filled up. also if you are unhappy with your score you can retake it senior year, which you wont have time for if your first time is in that same year

so definitely junior year :)

Answer 3

I recommend taking the SAT during the Spring of your junior year. This way, if you score poorly or want to better your score, you can take it again in the fall as a Senior. And it will give you some experience with the test as well.
