ACT & SAT EXAM FAQs

Some colleges on my student’s list are going “test optional.” What does this mean?

This means that some colleges and universities will not require the ACT or SAT to be submitted for admittance. At some schools, this means simply that all students or students with a certain GPA don’t have to submit their scores. Some colleges will still look at test scores if you choose to submit them, won’t hold it against you if you choose not to submit them. It’s always best for a student to have their best test scores available in order to apply to certain programs or colleges at universities. Test scores may also be required for certain scholarships or to pursue degrees down the road.
