Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because UNG requires SAT or ACT scores, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and an October retake for superscoring, since October is likely the last fall test whose scores will arrive in time for the November 15 Early Action and Early Decision deadline.
