There is no "best time" to take the SAT. Curves are based on the difficulty of the test—NOT the other students who took the test that day. The difficulty of the test is determined by The College Board through comparisons with previous tests.
The tables below include school day administrations of the SAT, which are just as valid as the regular test dates.
