Because Talladega is test-optional, use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and October for retakes that could improve a superscore. October is the safest last retake to have scores arrive in time for Talladega’s Early Action deadline, so confirm the posted date before counting on anything later.
