Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because The BAC is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes to improve your superscore, and choose the latest fall test whose scores will arrive before the Regular Decision deadline.
