<p>As the title says, when would be the latest I could take the SAT/ACT to meet the deadline of the UC schools, and when would be the latest I could take them for the common app? I'm interested in taking the SAT and ACT again but the next test dates are Dec 3rd and 10th respectively. I know the UC application closes on November 30th and the Common App in late december/january, but I hear that colleges accept scores past these deadlines. Would I be able to take these tests in december?</p>
<p>UCs accept through the Dec tests. However, they mention that you should name a UC as one of the colleges to receive the scores in your application for the test (as one of your free sends) to assure it arrives on time; thus you should not wait until you know your scores before ordering the scores sent. With UCs, you need to send scores to only one of the UCs to which you are seeking admission and then all will get them from one designated. </p>
<p>Any common app school would accept through the Dec tests and many accept the Jan SAT.</p>
