<p>leicestermom,
The best time to take subject tests is in May or June of Junior year, or right after she has finished her AP test or finals when the material is still fresh in her mind. She should take the corresponding subject test to her AP classes- APUSH= US History subject test, AP LIT=English Lit, etc. In general, I would recommend taking 2 subject tests in may, 2 in June.
She should probably take the SAT in Jan or March of her Junior year.That way, IF she wants to retest to raise her scores, she can do so in Oct of her Senior year.
And don’t hesitate to come back and ask questions of CC’s “guidance counselors” any questions you have. I hate to brag, but you will find more knowledge here about the college application process than at most HS’s GC offices.</p>
