Because College of Westchester is test-optional, follow this plan only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if they could improve your superscore. Since there is no Early Decision or Early Action deadline, plan your final fall retake early enough for scores to arrive by your application deadline.
