When should I prepare for the SAT/ACT?

Many students are uncertain when they should begin preparing for the SAT/ACT. Typically, we recommend beginning your preparation as early as the summer before your Junior year and as late as the summer before your Senior year. If you start any earlier, you may be missing some of the content that is fundamental on these tests. Any later and you’ll find yourself rushing to submit your scores to colleges.

In that range, students should pick the time of year where their schedules are the most open and when they’re ready to put time in to prepare (see our course calendars). Thankfully, at Capstone, we offer Winter SAT Classes, Spring SAT Classes, Summer SAT Classes, and Fall SAT Classes! Give us a call to discuss the best timeframe for your student!
