Actually, yes. I have been through the college process multiple times with my older 3 and respectfully disagree with you. Each child is different of course, but if you have a competitive child, it can be beneficial in many ways. You can even reverse your philosophy to take the SAT earlier in order to prepare for the PSAT which if you score high, is real money. My son recently took the ACT as a freshman and did quite well. He had no stress whatsoever and I think that also is a huge benefit. Many selective summer programs also ask for ACT/SAT scores. The familiarity you gain from repeat testing can really raise your scores especially if you DON’T score very high typically. While some colleges require all scores, many are moving towards super scoring and even for the colleges requiring all scores, seeing scores consistently improving as they go through high school is certainly not going to hurt anyone.
