If you choose to submit scores to test-optional New River CTC, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for retakes. Because the Regular Decision deadline is August 13, a summer retake is likely the last practical option for scores to arrive in time, and fall senior-year tests will probably be too late.
