If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Mid-Plains, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so the summer before senior year and the fall can be used for retakes and possible superscoring. Since Mid-Plains does not list an Early Decision or Early Action deadline here, use its Regular Decision deadline as the score-arrival target and choose the last fall retake whose scores will arrive before that date.
