<p>Should I register for the December SAT or the January SAT?
The deadline for Dec. is pretty close (Oct 31) so I need to decide pretty soon.
I heard that the curve for the Dec one is harsher than the one for Jan. Is this true? How much of a difference does it make?</p>
<p>Most people are suggesting that I take it in January. However, I kind of just want to get it over with... Taking it in January would mean studying for two more months. And the Jan SAT would be around my HS midterms too.</p>
<p>Personally, I would take it in December so that I always have that one last chance in January. I’m not sure about the curve thing though…I hope it’s not true!</p>
<p>If you are not a senior, it does not matter which you take. Don’t know if it affects any curve but the December test date will be mostly seniors because for many colleges it is the last test date that is accepted if applying for next fall admission. If you are a senior and applying for next fall, be aware that many colleges require you to complete all tests by the December date.</p>
