When is the latest I can re-take the SAT?

<p>Well I was planning to re-take in Oct.
But due to procrastination, I haven't really done any studying this summer...
I'm not going to apply EA/ED, I'm trying Questbridge instead.
And I'm going to use my current scores for Questbridge (SAT 1940).
But in case I am not accepted or something goes wrong I still need to retake for RD.</p>

<p>Is Dec. too late?</p>

<p>I need around a 200 point increase,
and I strongly doubt that I can achieve that in 1 month....</p>

<p>For many colleges, December is the last test date, for many others it is Jan. Only a very small number want completion by Nov.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!
So I’m thinking I should first submit my application and then my scores later?</p>
