🚨 If you’re a rising JUNIOR, we recommend taking advantage of the upcoming summer to embrace test prep! It’s often easier for students to focus on tutoring without full-time high school obligations competing for your attention. This also gives you lots of room to re-take the test if you want to keep chasing a top score!😮‍💨

🚨 If you’re a rising SENIOR, we recommend taking your standardized tests ASAP. Colleges have different application deadlines, and some practice rolling admissions, so the sooner you can have a complete application that includes a test score, the better!👀
