<p>I'm gonna be a Junior and I'll be taking these tests this year:</p>
<p>PSAT
SATI
SAT2: Math IIC and World History (Maybe Physics)
ACT
(AP Tests also but obviously during May)</p>
<p>I was wondering what are the best testing days to take all those tests. I know I'll take the PSAT during October but I dunno when I should take the SATs and the ACT.</p>
<p>if you're taking ap tests, i wouldn't take the may or late april dates or you will fry your brain. take them twice if you want, like once in december and once in june</p>
<p>Whatever works for you. Try to leave yourself a retake option without postponing it for the senior year.
The best time for SAT IIs is right after you finish the corresponding class (and have to study for the finals anyway).</p>
<p>hmm i would say depends on how much you prepared for what, and how comfortable you feel. However, definatley take the PSAT first, and the SAT I last (June preferably). Take SAT II's in between, probably like March or May. If you want to take ACT's i would say just prep take practices and take it in your senior year, Personally i wouldnt want to overwhelm myself with too many standardized tests</p>
<p>ok here's some advice that's a bit unconventional but works well in my opinion.</p>
<p>take the SAT early. ASAP. most people take it 2-3 times, (march, june, then one last itme in october is a typical example)</p>
<p>but what this does is it puts A LOT of pressure on the months March, May, and June, since you've got satIIs, aps, satIs, and finals. that's HELL</p>
<p>you do NOT want to do that to yourself</p>
<p>take the sat I in JANUARY, when all you have on your plate otherwise is keeping good grades in school. start studying for it NOW. if you want a good score, studying from now till then (a practice section or two a day, a few times a week, review your grammar rules, write a few practice essays)...it's only like 1/2 an hour a day. </p>
<p>your january test will not be a 'diagnostic' test to see where you are; you will aim to be finished with the SAT once and for all. If you do indeed find that you are satisfied with your score, then you are relieved of a huge burden that most juniors take with them into hell month (may...) your friends will express their uttermost jealousy and tell you that you have no idea how 'lucky' you are. little do they know it has very little to do with luck...</p>
<p>haha anyways study hardhardhard starting (at the latest) april break for your APs, study VERY thoroughly and don't be lazy. beast your APs in may, then start reviewing for SAT II in june. </p>
<p>i guess it worked for me, so it might work for you too. the majority of my friends took the SAT once or twice and didnt study too much the first time. they are retaking in october. i on the other hand do not have such a burden on me over the summer. i took in january and i am done. wohoo</p>
<p>I was in a similar position as you last year. here is my advice. it got me a 2330 SAT, 214 PSAT (fuc*ingly miss bubbled some answers i later found out!! lol), 800 SAT Biology, 800 SAT US History, 800 SAT Math II (all on the first testing).</p>
<p>This is what I did (please modify my subject tests with yours:
Summer:
Study for at least 10 hours/day on SAT (i totalled about 900 hours, lol) so only have to take it once
Take notes on whole Biology textbook </p>
<p>October: take SAT I
No need to prepare for PSAT, it was only a week after my SAT, just bought Barron's PSAT prep book and leafed through it</p>
<p>Fall/Winter: study for Biology, took 200 pgs of notes. also self studied for 3 AP tests</p>
<p>January: take SAT Biology</p>
<p>Winter/Spring: study for all APs, including AP US History</p>
<p>May: take SAT US History</p>
<p>June: school was out and study for a week for SAT Math II. already took AP Calc in Junior year</p>
<p>I took everything once only, but if I needed to, I could retake any of the tests again in my Senior year. But not having to take tests your senior year is great!!</p>
