If you choose to submit scores to test-optional BRCC, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year plus the fall for retakes. Since the March 15 financial aid priority deadline is not a score deadline, aim to have any fall retake scores ready by BRCC’s application deadline instead.
