Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because UNF is test-required, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall for retakes. To have scores ready for the October 15 financial aid priority deadline, a September retake is likely the last safe fall option.
