If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Millikin, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if superscoring could help. Since Millikin does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, a December retake is typically the last one to consider for Regular Decision timing.
