Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Kilgore College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes and potential superscore gains; with the July 15 Regular Decision deadline, the December test should still arrive in time.
