When to Take the SAT & ACT in 2021

“Planning without action is futile, action without planning is fatal.” At least that’s what project management exam prep expert Cornelius Fichtner says. While we may disagree in terms of degree, I fully support the idea that planning and action must always go together, especially in test prep.

That’s why, when Punam Saxena of edu-Me invited me to speak about any topic related to the SAT & ACT on her splendid podcast, I chose to focus on planning. As Punam herself says, creating a schedule and ensuring that your child is efficient with their time is critical for maintaining sanity and doing well on the test.

Are you interesting in a big picture overview of when teens should take the SAT or ACT? How about getting into the nitty-gritty details?

  • When is the best time to take the ACT or SAT?
  • When is the best time to prepare for these tests?
  • What can we do to help our teens attain their highest scores?
  • What are resources we can ALL use to help our children?

Then check out the discussion my Tests and the Rest podcast partner Amy Seeley and I had with Punam Saxena on When to Take the ACT/SAT.

And for further detail, reference our Frequently Asked  (and Updated) Questions About When to Take the SAT or ACT!
