Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Azusa Pacific, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and an October retake for additional score chances, since October is typically the last fall sitting that can arrive by the November 15 Early Action deadline.
