Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Adrian, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year for a retake and possible superscore gains. Because Adrian’s Regular Decision deadline is August 1, fall senior-year retakes will not arrive in time for this application, so treat the summer retake window as your last chance for Adrian.
