Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to Hinds, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes if you want a stronger superscore. Because the Regular Decision deadline is July 15, a December retake should still arrive in time.
