Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because TAMIU requires SAT or ACT scores, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. With the Regular Decision deadline on July 1, a December retake should still leave plenty of time for scores to arrive.
