Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Rowan-Cabarrus is test-optional, use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and a fall retake for superscore improvement. Since the May 1 financial aid priority deadline is not a test-score deadline, base your last fall retake on the application deadline for your program rather than the aid date.
