Let’s start the new year right!

Take a test? Last minute is best for me! SAT- May, June, August

Using the test dates for your personality type, plan your testing schedule for the next year.

SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN

You will have the opportunity to take the PSAT 10 and PSAT/NMSQT later (11th grade)- so you will get lots of exposure to taking a standardized test. But, taking the real test is always a benefit! Which of these approaches works for you?

Personality Test Dates
