Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional UW-Eau Claire, plan for a first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-friendly retakes. For the August 1 Regular Decision deadline, a December retake should still leave enough time for scores to arrive.
