If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional PHSC, plan for your first test by spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. PHSC does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, so check its regular admission timeline before counting on a later fall retake, and do not base your testing plan on the April 15 financial aid priority deadline.
