Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Frontier, 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 superscoring gains. Since Frontier does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, work backward from its Regular Decision deadline and treat the latest fall test date that releases scores before that deadline as your final retake.
