If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Erskine, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. Because Erskine offers Early Action, treat the October test as the safest final retake for that deadline unless Erskine’s posted date confirms a later score release will arrive in time.
