Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional SIPI, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year plus the fall of senior year for retakes. Because SIPI’s Regular Decision deadline is December 6, plan on an October ACT or November SAT as the last retake likely to arrive in time, with earlier retakes giving you more superscoring options.
