Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to Texas College, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes that could improve a superscore. Texas College does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, so confirm the Regular Decision deadline before counting on a final fall retake.
