Take tests early for the best outcomes

Since Northeastern Oakland is test-optional, use this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes that could improve a superscore. For the November 1 Early Decision and Early Action deadline, the October SAT or September ACT is typically the last retake likely to arrive in time.
