If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Wisconsin Lutheran, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes that could improve a superscore. Wisconsin Lutheran does not list an Early Decision, Early Action, or Regular Decision deadline, so do not use the December 1 financial aid priority date as your testing target unless the college specifically tells you scores are needed for a program.
