Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Drury 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 and reserve later sittings for superscore-focused retakes, but Drury’s August 15 Regular Decision deadline means no fall senior-year retake will arrive in time.
