If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Las Positas, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscoring-focused retakes. Las Positas does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, and the July 1 financial aid priority deadline is not a reason to rush test scores, so confirm the regular admission deadline before deciding which fall retake is the last one that will arrive in time.
