I was asking because of two reasons. My son took the SAT/ACT in 7th and 8th grade. I didn't want him to wait 3 years before taking them again (and be out of practice, blow their importance out of proportion). Secondly I wondered if it would help with college planning (narrowing down which schools to visit)--People make fun, but I try to plan early (maybe because I can't take the stress of last minute).
