Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to CCAC, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year. CCAC does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, so use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes that could strengthen your score where superscoring is considered.
