Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Bay Path, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and reserve summer and fall for retakes. Because Bay Path offers Early Action, aim to have any score you want considered ready after an early fall retake; later fall retakes are more useful for Regular Decision, which has an August 1 deadline.
