Because Tiffin requires test scores, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Reserve the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes, which can also create a superscoring opportunity. Since no ED, EA, or Regular Decision date is posted, make sure your final fall test reports scores before Tiffin’s application deadline.
