Because Florida Poly requires test scores, aim to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Reserve the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes that could improve your superscore. For the November 1 Early Action deadline, plan for the October SAT or September ACT to be the last retake whose scores are likely to arrive in time.
