If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Washington Adventist, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for retakes and possible superscoring. Because the Regular Decision deadline is August 1, a summer retake is the last practical chance to have scores arrive in time, and fall senior retakes will generally be too late for this application.
