Because JNA Institute is test-optional, use this timeline only if you plan to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. If superscoring is available, retakes can help strengthen individual section scores, but your final fall test should be the latest one that reports before JNA Institute’s earliest ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline.
