How many times should students take the ACT and SAT and when should they start taking those tests?
Most colleges will accept the results of either test. Ideally you want to take either (or both) tests in the spring of the junior year so there is adequate time to retest in the fall of the senior year. Keep in mind that most colleges take the best results of each sub-score and they recalculate the totals across multiple tests.
