Any advantage to taking early SATs?

D’s took copies of her PSAT score report to give to coaches on any unofficial visits she did in sophomore and early junior year. The coaches accepted them as an excellent indicator she would be in their score range for recruiting.

However, I don’t see a problem with your Dr taking the SAT test this early if she has had the necessary math already–algebra 1 and 2 and geometry. But make sure she does at least one or two practice tests at home first. My athlete D ended up taking the SAT only once after very minimal prep, in the fall of junior year. She scored well enough such that she didn’t need to take it again. That was great because then she could focus on AP tests and SAT II’s.
