Because Salish Kootenai is test-optional and does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes. Check Salish Kootenai’s regular application deadline before scheduling a final fall retake, since your last test should be early enough for scores to arrive by that deadline.
