Why November Matters for Test Preparation
While the most popular SAT and ACT exams occur between February and April, preparation needs to start earlier to be effective.
- Class registration deadlines: Many in-office classes for March exams fill quickly, often requiring registration by December 1st.
- Private tutoring: Students typically schedule 2–3 months of weekly sessions before their first exam. Tutor availability becomes limited by the end of January.
Planning ahead in November ensures students have access to the resources, guidance, and preparation time they need to succeed.
