Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Lourdes, plan to 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 potential superscoring. Since Lourdes does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, time any fall retake around the Regular Decision deadline so scores arrive before your application is due.
