If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Lakewood, aim to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscore gains, with your final fall test early enough for scores to arrive by Lakewood’s earliest application deadline.
