Because George Fox is test-optional, use this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores. Aim for your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes that could improve a superscore; for the November 1 Early Action deadline, an October SAT or September ACT is typically the last retake likely to arrive in time.
