If you choose to submit scores to BCCC, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes that could improve a superscore. BCCC does not offer ED or EA, so use its regular decision deadline as your timing anchor and make the latest fall retake the last one whose scores will arrive in time. The August 1 financial aid priority deadline should not drive your testing timeline unless a separate scholarship requirement specifically asks for SAT or ACT scores.
