<p>I am a junior in high school for literally one more day. As of May 27, I will be a senior. And I'm ecstatic! There's just one hitch: I took the ACT a couple months ago and got a 23...and from my understanding, that's not exactly impressive. But what IS impressive is that in my report, I scored 99% better than all other testers on the writing prompt! (I am an AP English student.)
So the score on the ACT could be better, but my counselor encouraged me at the beginning of the year to also take the SAT. The late registration deadline passed for the final testing date of the year, and that means I'm screwed, right? So I really need some help and advice figuring out what to do. I don't know when the usual time frame is for applying to college, and I'm wondering if I take the SAT twice at the beginning of the year my senior year, will the scores come back in time for me to apply to college?
Any advice is helpful and very much appreciated. I really need some guidance! I'm just afraid that my miscalculation will end up getting me in a very bad position with getting enrolled.</p>
<p>Yes, you can take them at the beginning of your senior year and get them back in time. There are tests dates every month beginning in October. And it takes scores what, like 3 weeks to come in? I forget.</p>
<p>If you’re applying to any college under an early action or early decision plan, the deadline is probably November 1st. Some schools may also have deadlines in November for scholarship consideration and such. For regular decision at the mjority of colleges, your deadline will be Jan 1 or later, which in fact gives you time to take the test 3 times, but colleges really don’t recommend taking the December test date. Look into the deadlines for the colleges you’re interestin in for more details.</p>
<p>Consider taking the ACT again too, can’t hurt!</p>
<p>hey dude don’t worry, there are some very good schools specifically liberal arts schools that dont require the SAT or ACT, all but one of my 7 schools requires it, which helps me so much…you should look into these… :)</p>
