Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Northwest Technical, aim to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. Since Northwest Technical does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, plan your last fall retake so scores arrive before the Regular Decision deadline, and use retakes as a chance to strengthen a superscore if the school considers one.
