December ACT/SAT for Dec 1st deadline?

I took the Oct ACT and did not get score I wanted. I’m thinking about taking the Dec ACT or SAT, but if I’m trying to meet the Dec. 1st deadline will they take those test scores or does it depend on the school. On the commonapp it has a box for future test sittings and I will have all my applications in with my current test scores, but would they take the Dec. test dates. Thanks

That is too late for EA/ED, but should be fine for RD.
