Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Kapiolani, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for a superscore-focused retake. Because the Regular Decision deadline is August 1, fall senior-year retakes will generally be too late for Kapiolani, though they may still help at other colleges.
