Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Indian Hills, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Save the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes, especially if a higher section score could improve a superscore. Because Indian Hills does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, use its Regular Decision deadline as your score-arrival target.
