If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Rochester Christian, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes, but because Rochester Christian does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline, confirm with admissions which fall test date will still arrive in time.
