Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Yeshiva, 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 and superscoring opportunities. For the November 1 Early Decision deadline, plan for the October SAT or September ACT to be your last fall retake so scores can arrive in time.
