Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Davenport, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes. For Davenport’s University President Scholarship, which lists SAT 1400+ or ACT 30+ with a 3.50+ GPA, a December retake should still leave time for scores to arrive before the March 1 financial aid priority deadline.
