Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Hocking, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring. Hocking does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, and its February 28 financial aid priority deadline and listed Presidential Scholar Award criterion do not require SAT or ACT scores, so base any fall retake on your application timing rather than the aid date.
