Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to Bay College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for a retake if you want another superscore opportunity. Since Bay College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, work backward from its Regular Decision deadline and choose the latest fall retake whose scores will arrive on time.
