Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Temple College, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year plus the fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring. Since Temple College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, line up fall retakes with the regular admission deadline for your term and choose the latest test date whose scores will arrive before that deadline.
