<p>My school requires sophmores to take the PLAN which will either be in late September or October. How can I go ahead and start preparing for the test? It's very important to me that I do well because I have to submit my scores in January to a new high school I'm applying to. Also, would it be reasonable to try and get some testing(SATs or ACTs) done by the end sophmore year? If I don't do well on the PLAN, I also might have time to take the SAT...</p>
<p>There’s no point in preparing. I hardly ever hear about that test. Just take it and see how you do without prep. </p>

<p>Not necessarily. If you can get amazing scores in your sophomore year, they’ll be even better by junior year. For example, my ACT score rose 2 points from sophomore to junior year without any studying.</p>
<p>I have to submit my scores to a school so if I do bad how can I make up for it…</p>
<p>Oh, okay, I didn’t read that part. Applying to high schools is a foreign concept to me.
I would suggest ACT prep books. I haven’t seen all that many books specifically for the PLAN. The PLAN is easier than the ACT, and you’ll be preparing for that at the same time.</p>
<p>Thank you halcyonheather, I appreciate it!</p>
