If you choose to submit scores to test-optional UMPI, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for a retake if a higher score could help. Because UMPI’s Regular Decision deadline is August 15, fall senior-year retakes will not arrive in time for that application.
