Moravian is test-optional, but that does not make scores irrelevant: SAT submissions are much more common than ACT submissions, and the middle SAT range runs 1080 to 1265. Aim for the upper end, around 1265 or higher, if you want your score to strengthen an already solid transcript.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Moravian is test-optional, follow this testing timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then reserve the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes and possible superscoring. For the November 15 Early Action deadline, an October SAT or ACT is typically the last fall retake whose scores can arrive in time.
