If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Eastern Washington, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use later tests for superscoring improvement. Because Eastern Washington’s Regular Decision deadline is September 1, a summer retake is the last practical option for this application; fall senior-year retakes should be reserved for other colleges with later deadlines.
