If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Stockton, take your first test by spring of junior year and use the summer before senior year for retakes. Because Stockton’s Regular Decision deadline is September 1, fall senior retakes will generally be too late, so have any scores you want reviewed ready from spring or summer testing.
