Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to Viterbo, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if a higher section score could strengthen your superscore, but do not build your testing plan around the February 1 financial aid priority deadline.
