If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Northwest Mississippi, plan for your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so you can use summer before senior year for a retake and potential superscore gains. Because the Regular Decision deadline is August 17, fall retakes will likely be too late for this application, so aim to have any score you want considered from spring or summer testing.
