Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Wofford, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. For the November 1 Early Decision deadline, an October retake is typically the last fall test date whose scores can arrive in time.
