Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional IU East, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so the summer before senior year and fall are available for superscore-focused retakes. For the November 1 Early Action deadline, plan on an October SAT or September ACT as the last fall retake likely to arrive in time. If you are aiming for the Anthony Munoz Scholarship Fund award, make sure your ACT score is at least 18 in addition to meeting the GPA requirement.
