Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you plan to submit scores to test-optional Christendom, 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. Because the Early Action deadline is December 1, an October retake is typically the last fall test date likely to arrive in time.
