The deadline to sign up for the next ACT test is on the 12th of this month. If you’re up for paying a late fee, you have until the 22nd, but who wants to do that? If you sign up, you’ll be taking the test on September 13th (no, it’s not a Friday).

If you’re interested in taking the SAT soon, you have a little bit more time. The deadline for the next test is September 9th, and, if you’re into late fees, you have until the 16th of September. The actual test is on October 4th.

The main reason for this reminder is to make sure that you start thinking about what tests you still need to take in order to be finished with it. It’s always best to take a test early. If you do poorly, you can always take it again, and you’ll be glad to at least know that you have some score to turn in if you need to.

As I’ve said, it’s important to keep an eye on deadlines. Believe me, it’s important to have fun in summer, but you do need to be aware that there are deadlines that can hit you even this early. If you need to take a test, it’s best to sign up now and avoid the stress later. It takes no time at all.

Here are the sites for signing up for each test:

• SAT

• ACT
