Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to Florida Gateway, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you have the summer before senior year for a retake. Because the Regular Decision deadline is August 6, fall senior-year tests will not arrive in time, making summer your last practical retake window.
