Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Mission, plan for a first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring. Since Mission does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, your last useful fall retake is the latest test date whose scores arrive before the Regular Decision deadline.
