Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Pierpont, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for superscore-focused retakes. Since Pierpont does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, aim to have fall retake scores back before the Regular Decision deadline rather than using the March 1 financial aid priority date as your testing target.
