Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Ohio University Chillicothe is test-optional, follow this plan only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. For Early Action, an October retake is the safest final fall sitting unless the published deadline allows later scores.
