If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Central Virginia, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for superscore-focused retakes. Since Central Virginia does not list an early admission deadline, use its Regular Decision or final application deadline to choose the last fall retake whose scores will arrive in time, rather than planning testing around the March 15 financial aid priority date.
