Because SUNY Suffolk 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 the fall of senior year for retakes. Since SUNY Suffolk does not offer Early Action or Early Decision, confirm its regular admission timing before choosing a final fall retake so your scores arrive in time.
