If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Blinn, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes that could improve a superscore. Since Blinn offers Early Decision, your last fall retake should be the latest test date whose scores are released in time for that ED deadline, so confirm score-release timing before registering.
