December
December is a good time to think about your schedule for next year. Students have traditionally taken the SAT in the spring of their junior year and, if necessary, again in the fall of their senior year, often in hopes of improving their score. Don't wait until fall—get that first test in this spring. Sit down with your parents and counselor to discuss how you plan to prepare. And keep your eye out for college fairs in your area.
To Do:
- Only about one-third of four-year colleges require SAT Subject Tests; find out if any schools you're considering will require them.
- Determine how you plan to prepare for the SAT, ACT, and SAT Subject Tests.
