Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Champlain, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes and possible superscore gains. For the November 15 Early Decision deadline, the October SAT or ACT is typically the last fall retake likely to arrive in time.
