If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Keystone, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year for retakes and superscoring. Because Keystone’s Regular Decision deadline is in September, have your score ready before senior fall since fall retakes are unlikely to arrive in time for this application.
