If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Corban, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes. Since Corban does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, plan your final fall retake so scores arrive before the Regular Decision deadline.
