If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to EPCC, plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall of senior year for retakes. EPCC does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, so check the admission deadline for your term and choose the last fall retake whose scores will arrive before it rather than using the March 15 financial aid priority deadline as your testing target.
