Because Wright College is test-optional, follow this plan only if you choose to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for potential superscore-focused retakes. With no Early Action or Early Decision deadline, the December retake is typically the last fall test to target for Regular Decision, but confirm Wright College’s posted score-receipt cutoff before registering.
