Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Meridian CC, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes and possible superscoring. Since Meridian CC does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, confirm the regular admission deadline and choose your last fall retake early enough for scores to arrive in time.
