Plan of Action
Start: April 01, 2023 | Complete: July 31, 2023
To setup your journey for success, follow the plan of action below. Do your best to follow the calendar dates indicated for maximum effectiveness.
April 1st to April 15th
Schedule your SAT.
Everyone has a different level of comfort when it comes to scheduling tests. It comes down to your level of readiness and how well you’ve outlined your plan to study and prepare.
As you look at your calendar, your goal is to give yourself enough time to prepare for your SAT yet schedule a date to take your SAT as soon as you feel you will be ready.
July 1st to July 31st
Take your exam.
You’ve prepared yourself well and studied to the best of your ability. Take a breath and relax – you’ve got this! Get a good night’s sleep and eat a good meal the day of the test.
Your goal is to reduce your anxiety and stress on this day and rely on your preparation and abilities to attain a good score.
July 1st to July 31st
Submit your scores.
Conventional wisdom says submit the scores to 4 universities for free at the time of the test, but we recommend not doing so. You have up to 9 days after the test to do the same.
Your goal is to ensure your scores are submitted in a timely way to the universities you’ve chosen.
Based on your score, you’ll be narrowing down your schools from the list of 12 schools you chose earlier. For now regardless of your score, submit your scores to 2 medium and 2 low ranking schools that you think you’ll definitely be applying to. Take advantage of this $45 savings. Cha Ching!
