<p>So today in English I was talking to this kid and he said he already signed up for the SAT in like 3 months, and we are both sophomores, is he full of it or are sophomores actually allowed to take the SAT, because I thought you had to be a Junior? Can anyone explain this?</p>
<p>Anyone of any age can take the SAT or ACT. I took my first ACT when I was twelve years old, and I took my first SAT freshman year.
I would recommend taking an SAT or ACT sophomore year to see how you do, but you should retake it junior year because your score will probably be higher even if you didn’t study.</p>
<p>I was going to retake it no matter what unless I somehow pull of a 2400 (Which I probably won’t) But how many times are you allowed to take it?</p>
<p>Any school with an advanced curriculum should offer Sophs the NMQST, which is a predictor of the SAT and PSAT. That’s the test to take. It will gauge whether or not you are ready for the real thing. BTW, There are no extra points for taking the SAT early and for all score schools, there could be a penalty for doing badly.</p>
<p>I’m gonna talk to my counselor about it first, I don’t want to rush into that kind of thing anyhow, but I want to know if it’s even an option.</p>
<p>It’s better to take a full SAT at home to see your score as opposed to an official one. If you are satisfied with your practice score than go for it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As many times as you can afford it, but retaking it a lot of times will look bad.
My experience has been that practice tests don’t reflect how I do on actual tests, but the PSAT did.</p>
