Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Vol State, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for any retake. Vol State’s Regular Decision deadline is August 26, so fall senior retakes are unlikely to arrive in time for this application and are better reserved for other colleges with later deadlines.
