Chalk Talk: Test Optional Colleges
The purpose of standardized tests like the SAT and ACT is to demonstrate how well a student will do in college. Some studies are showing that this isn’t always the case. Because of this evidence, several colleges have gone test optional. This means that they no longer require standardized tests as part of their applications. In lieu of tests, many of these colleges require an additional essay or a graded written exam. Some require an interview or project to replace the test scores. Standardized tests can be onerous to students, and some students simply don’t test well, so these options can be a real boon. More and more colleges are going test optional, but they are still a minority. It might be difficult for a student to put together a long list of colleges that are test optional and fit his or her other needs, so the reality is that standardized tests are still necessary for most applicants.
