Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional UNM-Taos, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for a retake if needed. Although fall of senior year is usually a retake window, UNM-Taos’s August 27 Regular Decision deadline means fall retakes will not reliably arrive in time.
