Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Brescia, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus an early fall retake to improve your superscore. Since Brescia does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, check the Regular Decision deadline before registering because the last usable fall retake depends on when that deadline falls.
