If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Concord, aim for your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes that could improve your superscore. Since Concord does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, work backward from its Regular Decision deadline and treat the last fall test date that reports before then as your final retake.
