If you choose to submit scores to test-optional NMSU Grants, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes. With the Regular Decision deadline on July 12, a December retake should still leave plenty of time for scores to arrive and may improve your score or superscore.
