Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Pierpont, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so the summer before senior year and the fall can be used for retakes. Since Pierpont does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, work back from its regular admission deadline and choose the latest fall retake whose scores will arrive in time, with each retake giving you another chance to improve a superscore if Pierpont accepts them.
