If you choose to submit scores to test-optional SWIHA, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes and possible superscoring. Since SWIHA does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, align your final fall retake with its Regular Decision deadline and confirm the latest accepted test date before registering.
