Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional North Hennepin, aim to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and, for other colleges, the fall of senior year for retakes. Because North Hennepin’s Regular Decision deadline is August 19, a summer retake is the last practical chance to have scores ready in time.
