Far too many students wait to take the SAT in their senior score. Preparation years are lost.

1. 4 Reasons for Taking the SAT before Your
Senior Year

2. According to the College Board, the SAT
organizer, “Most students take the SAT for
the first time during the spring of their
junior year and a second time during the
fall of their senior year.” It is important for
high school juniors to plan ahead of time
to ensure that they are well prepared for
the test, but it is never too early to begin
preparations even if your student is in the
early years of high school.
Over 100,000 middle school students have
taken that advice. They are getting a
headstart on learning ways to master the
SAT. Many of them sign up for SAT prep
courses to lessen test anxiety and learn
test-taking strategies
Are there benefits from this preparation?

3. Score Choice
Score Choice provides students with the unique opportunity to choose by date SAT scores
for university application submission. Students submit selected scores to participating
preferred schools. This is great for the nervous test taker who was not satisfied with their
first test score. Students taking the test more than once have the opportunity to improve
their scores. These scores are good for almost 5 years. Students can begin taking the SAT as
early as the 9th grade for college admission. With concentrated practice throughout their
high school career, students can expect to see an improvement in their scores overtime.

4. Tour Your Preferred University
Early test takers are in the driver seat for the college application process. You are able to
apply for college admission under early decision or early admission process. Students in
their junior year can submit their SAT scores to universities for review. This demonstrates
to the school your interest. Your scores may give you access to special campus visits,
invitations for information sessions, or school scholarships. Colleges use standardized test
scores for admission, scholarship awards, course placement, or selection to a specific
program or major. Sending your registration score report ensures that colleges have the
most complete set of information about you for use in their review processes.

5. Exceptional Summer Programs
Every summer, some of the leading universities in the US (Duke University, John Hopkins
University, and University of Georgia) open their doors to middle school and high school
students. These students spend 2 to 3 weeks with other talented and gifted students
experiencing college campus life. Programs focus on Humanities, Science, and Technology
taught by college lecturers with curricula not employed in most middle or high schools. Many
of these students start in the 7th grade and return each year to build on this unique
learning experience creating a standout student profile for college admission. . Above average

Senior year is full of activities – dances, AP exams, college applications and more. Why
put another item on your “to-do” list? Take the SAT early in your high school career
and leave your senior year for focusing on your AP studies and creating great senior
memories. Waiting to take the SAT in your senior year reduces the opportunity for
