Students interested in applying for US universities will need to take the SAT / ACT . Serious applicants should take their SAT for the first time in JC1 (during December holidays) and attempt to improve their score in JC2 (Mar - Jun).
Refrain from taking your SAT during December in JC2. Not only would it distract you from studying for A levels, you may not be able to meet the deadline stipulated by the university.

Most colleges and universities in the United States require SAT or ACT for admissions. Remember, application requirements vary, so be sure to confirm which test(s) you must take with the institutions to which you plan to apply.
