Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Middlesex, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Since Middlesex does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, plan around the Regular Decision deadline and make your last fall retake the latest test date whose scores will arrive before that deadline.
