Because Black Hawk is test-optional, use this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores: take your first test by spring of junior year, then keep the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. With no Early Action or Early Decision deadline, your last practical retake should be in the fall before Black Hawk’s Regular Decision materials are due.
