Because Martin Luther College is test-required, aim to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for a retake if needed. With the Sept. 15 Regular Decision deadline, an August retake is the safest last chance to have scores arrive on time, and fall retakes are generally too late for this application.
