There is an old saying PMP, which stands for Practice Makes Perfect.
PMP means that to get good at something you have to do it over and over again until your mind, body, and spirit know it by heart.
Whether it is singing and choir rehearsal, football and practice, academic classes and homework, or church service and daily bible study, the same principle holds.
This also applies to test taking and especially the SAT. Since you get better the more you do something, a student should NEVER enter his or her senior year planning to attend college, without previously taking more than one SAT or SAT-like test.
The Concerned Parents of Color recommends the following as the
MINIMUM schedule for SAT preparation.
Take the PSAT in the Fall of your Sophomore year
Take the PSAT again in the Fall of your Junior year. This is also when your score can qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship
Take the SAT in the Spring of your Junior year.
Take the SAT in the Fall of your Senior year for your college admission applications.
