Test Optional

I know that the college admissions tests (ACT/ SAT) can be stressful to students (and parents), but it is important to know that not every college requires strong test scores... in fact, there are many colleges that do not require test scores when evaluating applicants for admission.

The website Fair Test is the National Center for Fair and Open Testing. Their site features a list of colleges that are test score optional schools. This hopefully reminds you that any one aspect of your college application does not make or break you - there are always more options to explore until you find the college that is the best fit for you. So please, don't allow the college admissions tests give you nightmares!

For those of you who are still trying to take another admissions test this fall, don't forget that the deadline to register for the next SAT is this Friday and the deadline for the October ACT is a week from Friday.
