Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Piedmont, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. With Piedmont’s Regular Decision deadline on July 15, a December retake should still leave plenty of time for scores to arrive.
