Even though the traditional testing paradigm focuses on taking the SAT and/or ACT in the spring of junior year and fall of senior year, the tests themselves are administered all year long, even during the summer months.

JANUARY – no tests
FEBRUARY – ACT (not in New York)
MARCH – SAT
APRIL – ACT
MAY – SAT and Subject Tests
JUNE – SAT and Subject Tests, ACT
JULY – ACT (not in New York or California)
AUGUST – SAT and Subject Tests

OCTOBER – SAT and Subject Tests, ACT, PSAT
NOVEMBER – SAT and Subject Tests
DECEMBER – SAT and Subject Tests, ACT
Every testing month offers certain advantages. Explore the options to ensure that the students in your life test on their terms, ideally when they can prepare, practice, and focus on success.
