Take tests early for the best outcomes

Since Montana Tech requires SAT or ACT scores, take your first test by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year for retakes. For the August 15 Regular Decision deadline, a summer retake is your last practical chance to have scores arrive on time, and fall senior retakes will be too late.
