Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Huston-Tillotson, aim to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so summer and fall of senior year are available for retakes. With the May 1 Regular Decision deadline, a December retake should still leave time for scores to arrive and may help if superscoring applies.
