Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Shawnee is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores: take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use summer and early fall for retakes. For Shawnee’s Early Decision deadline, an October retake is typically the last fall sitting likely to arrive in time, and retakes can help if your colleges consider superscores.
