Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to The Chicago School, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes if superscoring could improve your result. Work backward from The Chicago School’s earliest application deadline, and make your last fall retake the one whose scores will arrive before that date.
