Entering the sat world...eeeek

For most students I recommend taking the test in May of their junior year, and again in October of Senior year.

If they have already completed Algebra 2, and received close to a 600 in math on their PSAT, then it’s ok to take it in January and May of junior year (but May and October is still okay).

The most extensive preparation should begin 3 to 4 months before taking the SAT for the first time.

Also, make sure you sign up for the Question/Answer service - this way you’ll get back a copy of the SAT and a score report with your child’s answers and the correct answers. January, May and October are the only SAT months where you can get a copy of the actual test.
