Take tests early for the best outcomes

Plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and an October retake to improve your score. Because Arkansas Tech requires test scores and has a November 15 financial aid priority deadline, October is likely the last fall retake that will arrive in time.
