If you choose to submit scores to test-optional WCJC, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer for a retake if needed. Because WCJC’s Regular Decision deadline is August 14, plan to have scores ready before then. Fall retakes will be too late for that deadline, so they only help other colleges or later terms.
