Advantage Testing SAT Q&A

We recommend that students begin studying for the SAT in the middle of their sophomore years. This will give you plenty of time to learn all of the underlying math, reading, and grammar concepts and allow ample opportunity to practice applying them on timed practice tests. Most students who follow this timeline are prepared to take their first official test in the spring of their junior year, leaving plenty of time to retake the test the following summer and fall. See our college admissions timeline for more information to help you plan your test preparation schedule.
