Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to NLTCC, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. Because NLTCC is test-optional, do not time testing around the June 1 financial aid priority deadline unless another program specifically requires scores.
