Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Kansas Wesleyan, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring, but do not plan your testing around the March 1 financial aid priority deadline because it is not a test-score deadline.
