Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional SCI Harlingen, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes, especially if superscoring could strengthen your application. Make sure your final fall retake leaves enough time for scores to arrive by SCI Harlingen’s application deadline.
