Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional West Georgia, aim 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 and possible superscore gains. With Regular Decision due June 1, the December SAT or ACT should still leave time for scores to arrive.
