South Puget Sound’s standout number is cost: tuition is low for both Washington residents and out-of-state students, and SAT or ACT scores are not required. Your strategy should be practical: focus first on enrollment steps, program fit, and a transfer plan, then consider testing only if a score is needed for a specific scholarship or pathway.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional South Puget Sound, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year for retakes that could improve a superscore. Because the Regular Decision deadline is September 9, an August retake is likely your last realistic chance to have scores arrive on time, and later fall tests may be too late.
