Gateway Tech is test-optional, so this timeline only matters if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if superscoring could help. Since Gateway Tech does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, line up your final fall retake with the regular application deadline so scores arrive in time.
