Take tests early for the best outcomes

Husson is test-optional, so follow this plan only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Since Husson does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, do not use the April 15 financial aid priority deadline to time testing.
