Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Colby CC is test-optional, follow this plan only if you want 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 if a stronger score or superscore would help. Colby CC does not list an Early Decision or Early Action deadline, so use its regular admission deadline to choose the last fall retake whose scores will arrive in time rather than planning around the April 1 financial aid priority deadline.
