The ACT and SAT are subjective tests, rather than cognitive ones. Basically they are verifying that you know what a high school student should know. There is no advantage to taking it this early. You want to take it the Spring semester of Jr year so you benefit from the cirriculum knowledge you have completed, then leave enough time to take it again if necessary before the start of Sr year.

The only reason I can think of to take it early is if you plan on going to collete early. If you really are scoring this high on a subjective test in 7th grade then, from an academic perspective, you are wasting your time in high school. Consider graduating early, concurrent enrollment, or getting admitted without your diploma.
