Chalk Talk: Test Optional Applications
Standardized test scores might seem like the bane of some students’ existence, but the reality is that for many colleges, these test scores are not only required, but tend to be the second most important part of the application packet, after the transcript. Standardized test scores are intended to demonstrate how well a student will fare in college, but more and more research is showing that this isn’t always the case. Some students just don’t test well, but in real-world situations, they are very successful. Test Optional Applications have become fairly popular because of this. Some schools will allow students to apply without sending test scores; instead, they usually will be required to submit a graded written exam or an essay. This is because the same research that shows that test scores don’t necessarily reflect a student’s success in college also shows that the essay portion of standardized tests DOES tend to reflect a student’s future success.
