If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Marywood, take your first test by the spring of junior year. Reserve the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes that could improve a superscore where accepted, but do not plan your testing around the February 15 financial aid priority deadline because it is not a score deadline.
