Take tests early for the best outcomes

Aim to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if you want to improve or take advantage of superscoring. UAMS’s May 15 financial aid priority deadline does not by itself set a testing deadline, so confirm your program’s admission deadline before choosing your final fall retake.
