Should I take both the SAT and ACT?
We normally start our students off with a diagnostic test, so we can assess the student’s strengths and weaknesses and recommend one test over the other. About half of the students show a propensity for one test over the other, while the other half does equally well on both the SAT and ACT.

For students who will be starting Algebra 2 in their junior year, using the summer to get a head start on test prep might be a good idea; however, it’s important that these students to take the test after they’ve completed a chunk of Algebra 2, so they should plan to do some prep during the school year and take the SAT or ACT in December or the early spring.
Rising Seniors
For seniors, it’s really important to use the summer to review/prepare for the exam. I’ve seen many seniors...
