Since Missouri Valley is test-optional, only follow this plan if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores: take your first test by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and a fall sitting for superscore-minded retakes. Because Missouri Valley does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, check its Regular Decision timeline and make the last fall retake the latest test date whose scores will arrive before that deadline.
