Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Rockingham CC, plan a first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and fall for retakes and possible superscoring. Rockingham CC does not list an Early Decision or Early Action deadline, and the March 15 financial aid priority date is not a testing deadline, so confirm any program application deadline before relying on a late fall retake.
