Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Pacific Union, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Reserve the summer before senior year and early fall for retakes so you have a chance to improve your score or benefit from superscoring where applicable. For the October 1 Early Action deadline, the September ACT is the last fall retake likely to arrive in time.
