Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Park University, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you have time to improve. Because the Regular Decision deadline is August 1, fall senior-year retakes will not arrive in time, so use the summer before senior year as your last retake window if you want another chance to strengthen your score.
