Junior Year Testing
- Take the PSAT in the fall to get some practice for the SAT and perhaps win a National Merit Scholarship.
- Analyze your PSAT results carefully. If you do poorly, perhaps taking an SAT class would be wise.
- If you did well, taking the SAT your junior year could be a great idea. Colleges look at your best combined SAT score (best verbal + best math), so taking the SAT multiple times can only help!
- Many schools require up to three SAT II scores. The spring of your junior year would be a wise time to take these. Since most schools require the SAT II Writing and Math, take each of these. You can take up to three SAT II tests at once and colleges only receive those scores that you submit.
- Register with the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse and check the academic requirements. Make sure your senior year classes meet these requirements.
