Because Indiana Wesleyan requires SAT or ACT scores, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall for retakes. To have scores in before the March 1 financial aid priority deadline, aim to make the November SAT or October ACT your last fall retake.
