## Which Test Dates Should I Pick?

Your decision should be based on a few different factors; **college application deadlines and score goals are the most important.** In general, try and go for the earlier dates to reduce stress!

**NOTE:** Many schools have become [temporarily test optional](https://blog.prepscholar.com/colleges-dont-require-sat-act-scores-2020-admissions-covid) as a result of the coronavirus. This means that you don't need to submit test scores to them. However, if you still choose to submit test scores, you'll need to submit them by the required deadline, or they won't be considered.

 

### Choosing the Best Test Date for Your College Applications

Before you settle on a testing date, **make sure you know the application deadlines for your schools.** If you are applying Early Decision or Early Action, most colleges have November application deadlines. If you are applying regular decision, applications are usually due in early January. Schools often accept SAT and ACT scores after application deadlines, but to verify this you should look up policies at the specific schools where you are planning on submitting scores.

Harvard, for example, advises you to submit at least one component of its testing requirements (SAT or ACT) by October for Early Action and November for regular decision. However, **they will continue to accept results from test dates as late as November for Early Action and as late as January for regular decision.** There are some schools, including Yale, that will even accept scores from regular decision applicants on tests taken as late as February (for the ACT).

As a general rule, if you are applying Early Action or Early Decision, the latest you should take the SAT is November, and the latest you should take the ACT is October. If you are applying regular decision, the latest you should take the SAT is December, and the latest you should take the ACT is February.

**Again, these are the LATEST dates you might take the tests—they may not be the best dates for your situation.**

If you wait for your results before sending scores to colleges rather than choosing to send scores the day of the test, **you will end up with about a month between when you take the test and when colleges receive your scores.** The ACT takes around two weeks to give you your scores, and the SAT takes around three weeks. Then it's another two weeks or so to send the scores to your schools unless you use Rush Reporting for the SAT. [Rush Reporting](https://blog.prepscholar.com/when-rush-act-sat-score-reports-records-rushing) sends your scores to colleges within four business days, but it will cost you almost three times the fee associated with a regular score report ($31 vs. $12), and some schools don't accept it.

**Make sure you're aware of how late your schools will accept SAT and ACT scores** if your scores won't make it there by the application deadline.

 

****![body\_ponyexpress.jpg](https://360031.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/360031/hubfs/body_ponyexpress.jpg?width=500&name=body_ponyexpress.jpg "body_ponyexpress.jpg")*****How the College Board apparently sends your scores, am I right?*

 

### Choosing the Best Test Date for Your Score Goals

Whether or not you're planning on taking the SAT or ACT more than once this year, **my advice is to aim for an early fall test date,** like one in September. Then, you can formulate a game plan for the rest of the year based on your performance.

 

#### I Took an October SAT, Now What?

The most important considerations for you to plan your testing strategy are: 1) whether you can even register for the next test date, and 2) whether you can avoid late fees. Generally speaking, the registration deadlines are packed so tightly that if you don't register for the next test before or soon after you get your scores back, you're going to run into late fees.

Here's a chart that shows how this will play out:

| **Which Test?** | **Test Date** | **Deadline** | **Late Deadline** | **Score Release** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| SAT | Oct 5, 2024 | Sep 20, 2024  | Sep 24, 2024 | Oct 18, 2024 |
| SAT | Nov 2, 2024 | Oct 18, 2024  | Oct 22, 2024 | Nov 15, 2024 |
| SAT | Dec 7, 2024 | Nov 22, 2024 | Nov 26, 2024 | Dec 20, 2024 |

 

For example: October's test date is October 5, and test scores should come out around October 18. November's normal registration deadline is the same day, also October 18, and its late registration deadline is October 22. Therefore:

- If you're sure you want to take both October and November tests, register for the November test before you take the October test to avoid late fees.
- If you take the October test and have not registered for the November test, **you might wait for your October scores to arrive. If they're not good, register for the November test that same day (you'll have to pay a late fee).**

November and December are tight as well:

- If you're sure you want to take both November and December test dates, register for the December test before or soon after you receive your November scores to make the deadline.
- November scores should come out November 15. The regular registration deadline for December is November 22. This gives you about a week after you get your scores back to decide if you want to take the December test without having to pay a late fee. 
- **If you take the November test and feel like you did poorly, immediately register for the December test for your last chance.**

If the extra fees are not significant to you, and you feel like you need many chances to take the test, err on the side of caution and register for all the test dates. You can cancel your test dates without any issue--it won't go on your record and the College Board will gladly just take your money.

 

#### I Took a September ACT, Now What?

Let's go through the same logic for ACT test dates in 2023-24 here.

| **Which Test?** | **Test Date** | **Deadline** | **Late Deadline** | **Score Release** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ACT | Sept 14, 2024 | Aug 9, 2024 | Aug 25, 2024 | Sept 24, 2024 |
| ACT | Oct 26, 2024 | Sept 20, 2024 | Oct 7, 2024 | Nov 5, 2024 |
| ACT | Dec 14, 2024 | Nov 8, 2024 | Nov 22, 2024 | Dec 24, 2024 |

 

If you take the September test:

- The registration deadline for the October test is September 20. This is **after** the September 14 test date and around the same time you should get your scores back.
- When you get your September scores back, if you need to retake, quickly register for the October test to make the deadline. You may also want to register for the October test before you receive your September scores, just to be sure you get a spot at a test center.

If you take the October test:

- The normal registration deadline for the December test is November 8. This is **after** the October score release date, so you can wait until you receive your scores to decide whether to take the December ACT.

Hopefully all of this helps you plan out the step by step testing plan for senior year.

 

### Choosing the Best Test Date for Your Study Plan

By the end of your junior year, you probably know how much you are looking to improve on [standardized](https://blog.prepscholar.com/what-is-a-good-sat-score-a-bad-sat-score-an-excellent-sat-score) [tests](https://blog.prepscholar.com/what-is-a-good-act-score-a-bad-act-score-an-excellent-act-score) before you send scores to colleges. The summer between junior and senior year is a great studying opportunity.

If you are hoping to dramatically change your scores, putting in 5 hours a week for those three months is likely to give you a 150-200 point boost on the SAT or a 4-6 point boost on the ACT. For more advice on creating a study plan, check out our Complete Plans for both the [SAT](https://blog.prepscholar.com/when-should-i-start-studying-for-the-sat-complete-plan) and [ACT](https://blog.prepscholar.com/when-should-i-start-studying-for-the-act-complete-plan).

**You should register for the first fall test date** even if you think you still need to study more. Every test session presents a unique opportunity to assess your strengths and weaknesses in a controlled environment. You can always sign up for the next date right away if the first test doesn't go as well as you hoped!

 

**![body\_painting.jpg](https://360031.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/360031/hubfs/body_painting.jpg?width=500&name=body_painting.jpg "body_painting.jpg")***Make sure you save time outside of studying to engage in fun summer activities, which apparently at some point in history included walking along depressing beaches in wildly impractical dresses.*

 

## Overview

Be aware of your **application deadlines.**

**Check with your schools** to see when they accept test scores.

Be prepared to **sign up for the test again** if you aren't satisfied the first time.

**The earlier test date is the better test date** because you will have more opportunities later on to improve your scores!
