Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Valencia, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for retakes or a superscore boost. Valencia’s Regular Decision deadline is August 7, so fall senior retakes will not arrive in time.
