Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional North Shore, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring. Since North Shore does not offer ED or EA, use its Regular Decision deadline to decide your last fall retake, choosing the latest test date whose scores will arrive in time.
