Do most students aiming for selective colleges take the SAT and/or ACT in junior or senior year?

Well first of all college board has messed up this year with whatever kids normally do for Juniors and some Sophomores/Freshman.

For Sophomores/Freshman I believe there are some colleges that have stated that they aren’t going to accept the soon to be old SAT for them. And for the Juniors some kids are trying to get all the SAT testing done before the new SAT comes out while others are now holding off and waiting for the new one. UGH.

In our case our college Junior took the ACT & SAT fall of Junior year and took them both again fall of Senior year.
Our current high school Junior stepped it up because of the new SAT and the new ACT writing. He took the ACT/SAT in June after Sophomore year and took them both again this fall. He is done unless some magical scholarship opportunity that needs a higher score appears.
