Take tests early for the best outcomes

DelVal is test-optional, so use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for a retake and possible score improvement, because DelVal’s September 1 Regular Decision deadline leaves no reliable fall retake window for scores to arrive in time.
