Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional IVCC, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes that could improve your superscore. Because IVCC offers Early Decision and Early Action, treat the October SAT or ACT as the last fall retake likely to arrive in time for the earliest early deadline.
