10 Common Myths on the SAT Test - Myth #4:You only need to take the SAT on your senior year.

FALSE: Normally students should take their SAT tests before their senior year starts. We recommend the students complete the SAT tests in their junior year. The students could request the College Board to send all or only the best SAT scores to the college they applied. The students could focus on the college application essays and the college application forms during the first half of their senior year.
