Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Seton Hall, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes that could improve a superscore. For the November 15 Early Action deadline, the October SAT or September ACT is usually the last safer retake whose scores can arrive in time.
