Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Assumption, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so the summer before senior year and senior-year fall are available for retakes and potential superscore gains. For the November 1 Early Action deadline, an October SAT is usually the last sitting likely to arrive in time, while ACT takers should treat September as the safer final retake.
