Because East Texas A&M is test-optional, use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year for a retake if needed. With the Regular Decision deadline on August 15, fall senior-year tests will be too late, so have your scores ready by that date.
