Hey there, I'm a little bit stressed because I want to take the SAT one more time before applying for college, but my schedule is super tight. Is there any chance there's a July SAT, or do I need to figure out a different plan?
Hey! I understand the stress of juggling a busy schedule with standardized testing. Unfortunately, the College Board does not offer an SAT test date in July. The SAT is usually administered in August, October, November, December, March, May, and June. You may want to consider either taking the test in June, if that works for your schedule, or in August, which should give you enough time to send your scores before Early Decision/Early Action or Regular Decision deadlines.
Remember, many colleges have adopted test-optional policies, so if you're unable to take the SAT again or aren't satisfied with your existing scores, you can still have a strong application without them. Focus on the other aspects of your application – like your GPA, coursework, extracurriculars, and essays – to showcase your capabilities and achievements. Good luck!
