Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Pratt, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the October test date for retakes or superscore gains, since October is likely the last sitting that will return scores in time for Pratt’s November 15 Early Action deadline.
