Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Haywood is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall senior-year dates as retakes to improve a possible superscore. Since Haywood does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, make the latest fall retake the last SAT or ACT whose scores will arrive before its Regular Decision deadline.
