Because UIndy is test-optional, follow this plan only if you choose to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes that could improve a superscore. Since UIndy does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, the last useful fall retake is the one whose scores will arrive by the Regular Decision deadline.
