Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Bryn Mawr, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so you can use summer and fall for retakes and potential superscoring. For the November 15 Early Decision deadline, an October retake is typically the last fall test date likely to arrive in time.
