Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional King’s College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes that may improve a superscore. For Early Action, the November SAT or October ACT is typically the last fall retake likely to arrive in time.
