Because Siena is test-optional, use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores: take your first test by the spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. If you’re applying Early Decision by November 15, the October SAT or ACT is likely the last retake that can arrive in time.
