Take tests early for the best outcomes

Jackson College is test-optional, so follow this timeline only if you plan to submit SAT or ACT scores: take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring gains. With a Regular Decision deadline of July 1, a December retake should still arrive in time, but finishing earlier gives you more control over your application.
