Because Caldwell Community College is test-optional, follow this timeline only if you plan to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then reserve the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. The June 1 financial aid priority deadline is not a testing deadline, so use Caldwell Community College’s admission timeline to decide whether a fall retake can still arrive in time.
