Take PLAN and PSAT in Sophomore. You don’t really need to prepare for that as it would be just for self evaluation purpose. After that, you can prepare for both SAT and ACT in the Summer after sophomore. Try a couple PSAT practice test before October of Junior. The PSAT in Junior is your only chance for Nation Merit Scholar status. If you are thoroughly prepared over the Summer, you should be doing fine in that. And you should be ready for SAT1 and ACT. I suggest to take both as you never know which one your will do better in a real test. Try to finish taking them by Spring of Junior (including retake if necessary). Leave April for AP preparation and prepare for June subject test after AP exams. Then you are all set for college applications in standardized test requirement.
