What is the latest date I can take the SAT or ACT?
If you are applying Early Decision, we recommend that you take either the ACT or the SAT plus two SAT Subject Tests no later than October of your senior year. We cannot guarantee receipt of November testing for Early Decision candidates, although past experience suggests that November scores typically arrive in time. You do not need to rush-report your scores to us. If you are applying Regular Decision, you should complete standardized tests no later than January of your senior year (submitting scores from the late-January test date is fine). You must arrange to have official test scores sent to Duke.
