SATs too late for college?

I'm a junior in high school and I was planning on taking my first SAT test on June 5th, but I just realized that that is also the date of my brother's graduation. I don't want to miss my brother's graduation, and June 5th is the last date for testing for this school year...

so my questions are:

Would this be bad for enrolling into colleges my senior year? Should i sacrifice my brother's graduation and take the test anyway?

Thanks in advance!

Update:

yes my brother's graduation is in the morning at 9:30.

    I took my SATs in January and enrolled at a university in Fall of the same year (and got a scholarship because of my great scores and other academic stuff).

    That said, it was not an Ivy League school (it was an above average public school). Ivy League schools really want you to apply before December or even earlier in your senior year. That might still give you an opportunity to take your SATs in early Fall and get the scores to the college before December, but I'm not sure. You'd have to look at the Fall schedule for taking SATs and at how long it takes to get your results back after taking the test to see if that works.

    Is your brother's graduation during the day?? My high school graduation was in the evening... so if that's the case you could both take the SAT and go to his graduation.

    Source(s): I'm foreign, and did my senior year abroad. I actually was taking a few classes in a community college when I took the SATs (I arrived in the US in December, so January was my first opportunity to take the SAT).
