If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Middlesex College, plan your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year and fall for retakes that could improve your superscore. Do not time testing around the April 15 financial aid priority deadline, since scores are not required for that aid timeline.
