When do I take the SAT?

Question: When do I take the SAT?
Answer:

Need to know the SAT test dates? You typically take the SAT your junior or senior year of high school. I recommend taking it near the end of your junior year, so you have some room to retake it if you don't like your SAT score. Plus, you’ll maximize your score by taking it at the end of the year because winter and spring offer a lot of room for education, right? Right.

The SAT test dates are scattered throughout the year, so you have many different dates available in case you happen to have a busy life. And who doesn’t?
