Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional CCP, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes. Since CCP does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, use its Regular Decision deadline to choose the last fall retake whose scores will arrive in time.
