What are the last test dates for the ACT/SAT before applying?

<p>I want to retake my ACT (possibly twice if there's time) and maybe my SAT (if my ACT still isn't good).</p>

<p>If I were to apply November 1, what are the absolute latest test dates I can do and have the result back before applying to colleges?</p>

<p>For most applications due November 1, October is the latest you can test. Some colleges may have a different policy, but that’s the standard.</p>
