If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Northwest Vista, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes that could improve your superscore. Northwest Vista does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline here, so do not anchor your testing timeline to the May 1 financial aid priority deadline unless another program specifically requires scores.
