<p>Did you take SAT or ACT already?</p>

3

<p>Will do on June 1st.</p>

4

<p>What has been holding you up? You should have taken it earlier particularly your PSAT indicates you are ready for it. Are you planning to take any SAT2? Any AP?</p>

5

<p>My college classes end May 8th, so I was hoping to study for a month and try for a 2300+. I will do Math II to confirm the validity of my Precalc independent study.</p>

6

<p>You know you cannot do Math2 and SAT1 on the same day. I always recommend people taking SAT2 in June. One should take SAT1 by April and AP in May.</p>
