If you are a rising junior, then you need to consider your standardized testing plans for the year. Will you plan to take the ACT, the old SAT, and/or the redesigned SAT? This is a multi-layered and critical question that requires careful, individualized consideration. If you need help figuring out your plan of attack, I recommend a consultation to assess your strengths and weaknesses and to determine which test(s) is/are best for you. The sooner you know your testing plans, the sooner you can earnestly begin your preparations. One thing is obvious: with the redesigned SAT launching in March 2016 and its PSAT launching in October 2015, you need clear guidance now more than ever.
