If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Lake-Sumter, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year or fall for retakes and possible superscoring. Since Lake-Sumter does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, choose the latest fall retake whose scores will arrive before the application deadline for your intended term, not the May 15 financial aid priority date.
