Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to Webster, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. Webster does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, so confirm your intended application date and use the last fall retake that will report in time, especially if superscoring could improve your result.
