Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to Santa Ana College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall of senior year for retakes. For the March 15 Regular Decision deadline, the December test date should be the last retake you rely on so scores have time to arrive.
