If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Fullerton College, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall of senior year for retakes. Fullerton College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, and its April 30 financial aid priority deadline is not a score deadline, so use the regular application timeline to decide whether an October or November retake is the last practical option.
