If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Halifax CC, plan your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and a fall retake for a higher score or superscoring opportunity, making sure your last retake reports before your application deadline. The July 15 financial aid priority deadline should not drive your testing timeline unless a specific scholarship separately requires scores.
