Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to Pacific College, aim for your first test by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes to improve your superscore. Do not plan testing around the May 2 financial aid priority deadline, since scores are optional for admission and not tied to that aid deadline.
