If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Montreat, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall for retakes. Since Montreat does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, the last useful retake is the latest fall SAT or ACT whose scores will arrive before the Regular Decision deadline, especially if another sitting could improve a superscore.
