Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Southwestern Christian, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Because Southwestern Christian does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, work backward from its Regular Decision deadline and choose the latest fall retake whose scores will arrive in time.
