Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to Holyoke CC, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes if a higher superscore would help. Holyoke CC does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, so do not use the July 1 financial aid priority date to time testing unless another college on your list requires scores.
