If you choose to submit scores to test-optional SLCC, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for a possible retake. Because SLCC’s Regular Decision deadline is August 15, fall senior retakes are unlikely to arrive in time, so treat the summer retake as your last chance to improve a superscore for that application.
