Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Tabor, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Because the Regular Decision deadline is July 15, even a December retake should arrive in time, but do not wait that long for your first sitting.
