Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Campbell, plan your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and a fall senior-year test as retakes for a stronger superscore. Campbell does not offer Early Action or Early Decision, and its February 1 financial aid priority deadline is not a testing cutoff because the listed aid does not require specific SAT or ACT scores.
