Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional WSU Vancouver, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. With the Regular Decision deadline on January 31, a December retake should be the last one you count on to arrive in time and can give you one more chance to improve a superscore where considered.
