Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Pearl River, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Since Pearl River does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, make your last fall retake the latest test date that will report scores before the Regular Decision deadline.
