Taking the ACT earlier

If you have to choose between taking it early and doing some test prep, do the test prep. If you have to choose between taking it at the end of sophomore year and early in your junior year, take it junior year. But if you don’t have to choose, and you want to take it early, go for it. There’s no better practice than the real thing.

BUT: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t do too well. Just use it as a chance see how the test feels and find out what areas you might need to pay extra attention to. If you relax and don’t stress out about it, you’ll do better, and you’ll feel more comfortable when you take it for real.
