It is recommended that students begin taking the ACT/ SAT in December of their Junior year.
It is also recommended a student complete Algebra II before taking the college entrance exams or take them in the spring semester while enrolled in Algebra II. Practice for these exams using available resources and try both exams multiple times. Colleges will use the best score submitted for admissions and scholarship consideration.
Many schools will use "Super scoring" - the practice of taking your highest individual section scores from different test administrations and combining them to form a new, higher overall score. Contact each college's admissions office for specifics for that institution.
Fee waivers are available for students on the free/reduced lunch program. You will request the fee waiver from College Board when you register for your exam in the check out section. Students can use Mrs. Brown's email address for verification of eligibility.

There really is no uniform policy about this that can be applied across the board. As with many things in college admissions, it varies by school, score and scholarship requirements. Often, test optional schools still require test scores when awarding merit-based scholarships. Thus, taking either the SAT or ACT would be important. For admission purposes only, if you have assured admission based on the class rank requirements, there would be no need to test other than trying to qualify for merit scholarship awards. These policies are evolving each year. Visit college admissions websites for specific requirements per institution.
