Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional RCTC, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year for a superscore-friendly retake. Because RCTC’s Regular Decision deadline is August 12, a June retake is the safest last SAT or ACT attempt for this application, and fall retakes would mainly help with other colleges.
