Planning questions

Important high-school deadlines, explained.

Are all college application deadlines the same?

No. Each institution sets its own admission deadlines. Use this calendar to create planning checkpoints, then verify the exact deadline on every college’s admissions page before submitting.

When should a learner start SAT or ACT preparation?

Start by choosing a realistic test date and working backward. The right timing depends on graduation year, current score, coursework, and application plan.

What should happen before AP exams?

Plan for the official May window early, protect required AP Digital Portfolio deadlines, and make time for subject-specific review before the final weeks of the course.
