Take tests early for the best outcomes

Plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year since DigiPen requires test scores. Use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes, with December as the latest fall retake that should still arrive before DigiPen’s July 1 financial aid priority deadline.
