Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Regent, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then reserve the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes that could improve your superscore. For Regent’s November 1 Early Action deadline, an October retake is typically the last one likely to arrive in time.
