Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional OCtech, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Summer and fall should be reserved for score improvements, but because OCtech’s Regular Decision deadline is August 2, June or July is the last realistic retake window for this application.
