The most important part of taking practice tests is the review that you do after you are done. Taking the exam a lot doesn't necessarily raise your score. No matter when you take the test, remember: It is about quality, not quantity. This allows you to complete as much Algebra 2 as possible during your junior year before taking the test. If you have not completed Algebra 2 by the end of your sophomore year, you should target test dates in the spring of your junior year. Rusty math skills are a big deal on the SAT, so we don't want to wait longer than necessary to take the test. Those test dates allow you to do you prep over the summer, when you might have more time, and the math you learned back in pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 won't seem quite as distant as it would during the spring of your junior year. If so, it might be a good idea to look at test dates during the fall of your junior year. When should you take the exam for the first time? It depends on whether you have completed Algebra 2 by the end of your sophomore year.
Okay, so you want to have the score you want by the end of your junior year. While those test dates in the fall of your senior year probably get released in time to make most college application deadlines, they don't leave enough time to take the test, get your scores back, do significant prep and then retake the exam. That leaves test dates in the fall of your senior year as absolute backups, which is exactly how they should be viewed. A good rule of thumb is to have the score you want by the end of your junior year.
