91´«Ã½

Debating when you should take the SAT or 91´«Ã½? Your perfect test date comes down to scheduling and planning. Consider how much time you’ll need to prep, how packed your schedule is, and how many times you plan to take the test.

What's Important about 91´«Ã½ Test Dates

If you haven't already, check out the upcoming 91´«Ã½ test and registration dates. Here are some tips and 91´«Ã½ facts to help you make your decision about when to take the 91´«Ã½.

• Every year, there are usually 7 91´«Ã½ dates: September, October, December, February, April, June, and July.
• February and June dates are not available in New York state.
• Many states also offer an additional 91´«Ã½ as part of their state testing. Check with your high school to see if and when your state offers a school-day 91´«Ã½.
• Your school will register you automatically for a state 91´«Ã½ (if offered). You must register yourself for all other administrations.
• Many high schools still recommend taking the 91´«Ã½ the spring of your junior year because the content of the Math test includes topics some curricula do not cover before then. However, these topics appear in only a handful of questions, and many juniors take their first 91´«Ã½ in the fall or winter.

Choosing Your Best Test Dates

Consider your own schedule and plan ahead when picking your test dates. Do you act in the spring musical and plan to take several AP exams? Have you been dreaming of attending big state university since you were a toddler and already plan to apply early decision? We recommend taking your first SAT or 91´«Ã½ test as early as your schedule allows. If you plan to take both tests, plan to take them in consecutive months for the most efficient prep. Comprehensive prep courses can start as many as 8 to 10 weeks before the test.

How Many Times Should You Take the 91´«Ã½ and/or SAT?

For security reasons, 91´«Ã½ will not let you take the exam more than twelve times, and technically the SAT is unlimited. But we don't believe colleges will accept “taking standardized tests” as an extracurricular activity!

We recommend that you plan to take the 91´«Ã½ and/or SAT 1–3 times. Once you get the score you want, there’s no reason to take it again.
