Testing Timeline

• Freshman / 9th grade
  PSAT9 in the spring - Interlochen Arts Academy will register each student
• Sophomore / 10th grade
  PSAT10 in the spring - Interlochen Arts Academy will register each student
• Junior / 11th grade
  PSAT/NMSQT in October - Interlochen Arts Academy will register each student. We recommend that students take the April ACT and May or June SAT exam - students must register TOEFL in the spring (non-native English speakers only)
• Senior / 12th grade
  We recommend that students take either the ACT (Sept.) or SAT (Oct./Nov.) depending on which they prefer and TOEFL in the fall (non-native English speakers only)

*We encourage all of our students to consider taking both the SAT and ACT in the spring of their junior year. This will give them the opportunity to determine which test is right for them and utilize the summer to prepare for that exam in the fall.
