I don’t see how a gap year will help you. If you have a low GPA, your test scores aren’t likely to be anything great. The tests are to an extent based on materials you would have learned in classes. You will still have your high school GPA as part of your application a year from now.

Some people do end up taking more than four years total (cc plus a couple years at a four year college), but that is not ideal. Most four year colleges charge a set tuition per semester. If you don’t take many classes, or withdraw from or fail some of what you take, you still paid for that semester and then didn’t get many credits out of it. You want to avoid thst and not pay for extra semesters if you don’t have to.
