Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Morehouse, aim to take your first test by the spring of junior year so the summer before senior year and fall of senior year are available for retakes and possible superscoring gains. For the November 1 Early Decision deadline, plan on the September ACT or October SAT as your last retake that should still arrive in time.
