<p>Hey, I just read off from the rocketreview website that the author (Adams) says that it is a VERY bad idea for Juniors to take the SAT in January, unless you scored 225 + on the PSAT.</p>

<p>Should anyone listen to this guy? I mean, his book was very helpful, but I’m not sure if I want to blindly follow his advice</p>

2

<p>no…</p>

3

<p>Wow. Why does this guy say that?</p>

4

<p>I figure that I wouldn’t spend the next two months studying furiously anyway.</p>

<p>Besides, I’m going to be out of town for the March testing date.</p>

<p>Juniors for the January SAT, unite!</p>

5

<p>*** really? i thought the curve would be easier in jan than march…idk if im right but i wouldnt listen to that guy tho</p>

6

<p>I wouldn’t listen to him. I’m taking it in May anyway, too much stuff going on right now to take it in March/Jan.</p>

7

<p>Yeah… btw, just so you know, here is where the Adams dude said to the juniors explicitly not to take Jan26 (I’m taking it anyways, though I got 200< on my PSAT)

<p>pretty much ignore him.</p>

9

<p>screw him and take it in january! especially if you’re a junior! I don’t see any reason not to, besides probably finals?</p>

10

<p>I didn’t see anything on his website that was persuasive or supported his conclusion. And one of my sons took his first SAT as a junior in January 2 years ago. His PSAT score was a 214 and his January SAT score was a 2210 (not too shabby).</p>

11

<p>i have heard that the SCALE of the Jan TEST is immense …while the content might be more…</p>

<p>everyone i know is saying january is the best time due to scale and easiness …</p>

<p>this guy is a crack head…i know people who took it dec. and even sept (i think its sept? Not sure ) </p>

<p>you do it when you feel comfortable not when some rocket review guy tells you when to…</p>

<p>wow even my GC recommends January…</p>

12

<p>The Tests Are All The Same People. No Easier/harder</p>

13

<p>I would not make any decisions based on what RR says. Do what feels right for you. You’ll know if you feel prepared enough to take the SAT in Jan.</p>

<p>BTW, RR’s FAQ PSAT advice… </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not true.</p>

<p>Anyone wishing to take the PSAT at our school must submit a registration form and pay the testing fee. Not every Junior takes the PSAT here, so the responsibility for registering and paying the fee falls on the student. If you miss the registration deadline and don’t pay the fee, you don’t take the PSAT - period!</p>

<p>RR should not be making blanket statements like that.</p>

14

<p>That letter is so old. The dates he is talking about are from 2006.</p>

15

<p>yeah, and he hasnt updated his site since forvever. is he even alive?</p>

16

<p>yeah… his book was cool, but the features he promised were disappointing</p>

17

<p>His site does not even function anymore, leaving rocketscore to not even work. This is not good! How can I contact him?</p>
