Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Isothermal, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes and superscoring opportunities. Because Isothermal does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, make sure your last fall retake is early enough for scores to arrive by the Regular Decision deadline.
