If you choose to submit scores to test-optional CF, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes. Because CF does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, make your last fall retake the latest test date whose scores will arrive by the Regular Decision deadline.
