As a junior, you are in a perfect position to develop a smart testing plan. Taking these tests will help you practice for the SAT and get you in the running for consideration for college scholarships. When you receive your scores on the PSAT, you will also be given your actual test book. There are seven test dates offered during the school year. Some students choose to take the test more than twice.
Many students have questions about practice and test-prep programs.
I think that any practice that a student does is helpful. Plan to pick up practice materials when you ask for your registration packets. Both the ACT and SAT also offer software designed to assist students. Feeling stressed out about these test is entirely understandable, but you should also realize that they re just one more part of your educational experience. Plan well, read the tips on good test-taking skills, get a good night's sleep before each test, and go in with the attitude that you will do your very best.
