2022 – 2023 SAT / ACT Test Dates
The Goal
Ideally all juniors will finish taking the ACT / SAT by the end of the school year. This includes all attempts at taking each exam. The goal is to head into the summer before your senior year knowing your test scores and free to focus on college applications (instead of more studying for standardized tests.)
Start With the End in Mind
In order to stay on track to meet the testing goal of all attempts completed during junior year, you should get some dates on the calendar now. My planning tips include:
- Identify your initial test and test date (for example the December ACT)
- Work backwards 6-8 weeks to start test prep
- Allow time to retake (typically students make 2-3 attempts)
