When is the best time to take the SAT for the first time as an incoming Junior?

<p>I’m going to take it in November or December. That way, it won’t coincide with my PSAT-related worries and hyperventilation, but it won’t make me freak out about my APs either. I made the biiiig mistake of taking SAT IIs in May and June while I was cramming for my APs and stressing about those scores… not going to do that for the SAT. I’ll probably take it in December though, since I will have winter break to cram more SAT prep.</p>
