Because SUNY Jefferson is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes; make sure your last fall retake is early enough for scores to arrive by the Regular Decision deadline.
