Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Motlow State requires test scores, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes. With the June 1 financial aid priority deadline, a December senior-year SAT or ACT should still arrive in time, including if you are aiming for the Presidential Scholarship’s ACT 27+ requirement.
