I'm assuming that this means you will graduate from secondary school/sixth form in spring 2010 and enter university in fall 2010. And that you're asking something along the lines of "what would be an appropriate time to take the SAT".

For admissions to a US university in fall 2010, your application has to be in by the end of 2009. That's the latest when you can take the SAT. As for the earliest, the answer is, whenever you are ready. There are ~5 test dates a year, and you can take the SAT on any of those dates (as long as you register/pay). You can also take it more than once; the official line at most universities is that they do not penalise retakes. Most American students take it sometime during 11th grade (equivalent of Year 12), and some take it in October just after they've started 12th grade (Year 13). The Maths in SAT I does not go beyond GCSE Maths, so if you feel you're already ready you can register for the SAT I. There is quite a bit of obscure vocabulary to be learned for the Reading section, so that needs to be studied for.

A list of test dates and registration deadlines are on the College Board website; pick a date that's both convenient and allows you adequate preparation time, register, and study for it. Mock papers are the best. The October and December test dates might be too soon for you (but if you're confident, go for it), but there are about 5 dates in 2009 that you can consider.

Don't forget about SAT subject tests, either...

You should probably take it sometime during Year 12, though, so if you don't do as well as you would like, you have time to take it again. If you don't take it by the end of 2008 (which is not necessary), you can take it in the early months of 2009. If you're looking at any colleges that require SAT subject tests, a lot of people tend to take them at the end of Year 12, which would be the May or June testing date in 2009. And the earlier you take them, the earlier you can be done - I sat for the SAT once in Year 11 and got a good enough score that I've never taken it again. At the very least, you'll know where you stand and can spend more time studying.

You might want to try to take some practice tests so that you have an idea of where you are score-wise and what you should focus on studying. As far as vocab on the Reading section, there's not a set of words that they select from - it's virtually impossible to predict what words will be tested. That's not to say you shouldn't study vocab, but don't dedicate inordinate amounts of time to memorizing words that probably won't be in the 10ish vocab questions they ask.

When do i register for the SAT?
