Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional UNOH, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes that could improve your superscore. UNOH does not offer Early Action or Early Decision, so plan fall retakes around when you intend to submit your application rather than the April 1 financial aid priority deadline.
