Take tests early for the best outcomes

JJC is test-optional, so use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes to strengthen a potential superscore while checking JJC’s regular admission deadline to see which fall retake is the last that will arrive in time.
