Pizzagirl:
The PSAT is generally in October. Many counsel to take the SAT right away since it will involve one prep, others advise to wait for further prepping. It would depend on how confident your Jrs. felt they did on the PSAT, but the actual results won't be known for a while.
As for SAT-Subjects, it depends on what schools you think they should apply to. The number of schools that require them is fairly limited, so it's worth thinking about a tentative list. Ordinarily, it is best to take those SATS at the end of the year in which the subject has been studied, which means they should be taken at the end of the junior year. This means the same year as the APs. It makes for a somewhat heavy testing schedule. But, especially if applying ED, it would be best to have all the testing done by the end of junior year.
Visits: Take advantage of school vacations to visit. You can do some visiting this summer, then do real visits during the school vacations when the colleges will be in session and their own students (not summer school students from other colleges or high schoolers) will be there.
