Because Troy is test-required, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes if needed. Troy does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline here, so confirm your final application date and choose your last fall retake early enough for scores to arrive before you apply.
