<p>I will be taking the PSATs this Fall and I am considering when I should take the SATs. I was thinking of taking the SATs in October or November so that I can study in the summer and start of school when the workload is easy, and I can study for both tests at the same time. However, I've heard that March, May, and October are good times as well because so many people take the test that the curves and percentiles would be more average. What is your opinion? Do you think that taking the SATs and PSATs at a certain time helped or hurt your scores? Based on when you think I should take it, what do you recommend as a plan of action for studying?</p>
