For those parents who want the subject tests

[Anonymous]

Are they all cancelled? It seems that way, and since DD has been preparing, she really wants to take the test. Any insights on what will happen?

GRE or SAT?

They are not all cancelled. It depends on the test center (high school, usually).

SAT, thanks for the clarification. In this area, there are no options but to wait until CB emails the test takers, which tells me the subject tests will likely be cancelled. ie: test takers are not given access to sign up right now. As it is, CB took the essay away and rerouted kids to their home base school. I feel like they are penalizing the kids who like school, and lowering the bar re: "fair and equitable".

Does a smart kid stand a chance this year?

You realize there’s a pandemic, right? It’s not about “equity”

Schools run under the premise of "far and equitable" (see: laptop distribution and providing lunches for those less fortunate). I don't know if "fair and equitable" applies to testing, or applies to the other end, so to speak ie: you don't see TJ pandering to those less fortunate.

What about testing? Smart kids aren't allowed to do well?

Distributing lunches is safer during a pandemic than holding testing. No one is out to get you and your little genius.

Wow, that is an over reaction. Maybe the parents that this pertains to could answer, instead. Didn't mean to get personal there, chief.

I can see the lack of a confirming test being problematic for kids who attend schools with really tough grading scales.

Schools with “really tough grading scales” are generally well-known.

In the spring, weren’t the subject tests online? Is College Board going to offer them again as a make up?

-mom of kids out of high school.

I think that might be true, which means that all applicants should have access to subject tests, if they want them.

Anyone know?
