Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Calvary is test-required, plan 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. If you are aiming for Regular Decision, the October test is typically the safest last fall retake to ensure scores arrive in time.
