Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Sinclair, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year and fall retakes to improve your score. For the Anthony Munoz Scholarship Fund, the ACT 18+ requirement means an October ACT retake should still leave time before the May 1 financial aid priority deadline.
