Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Baker, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. Baker does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, and its March 15 financial aid priority deadline and GPA-based merit awards do not require SAT or ACT scores, so use Baker’s application deadline to confirm the latest fall retake that can arrive in time.
