[quote=Anonymous]The other thing is...this year many colleges are giving kids a pass for the test scores.  Maybe even next year.  But what about 2 or 3 years from now?  If your child wants to transfer midway through college, the new college may require the test scores at that point because things are back to usual.  Thus, it's best to try to take the test now if at all possible, while the material is still the most fresh.

Many students will leave trigonometry and calculus behind, particularly after freshman year, if they aren't a STEM student.  Same with the reading and writing content portion for STEM degree students.  Now is the best time to take the SAT and ACT if you can and have the score in your back pocket in case you need it later.  Blowing it off since colleges aren't requiring it THIS YEAR isn't necessarily the best course of action.  If you try and you just can't get a seat due to cancellations, and possibly have to take it later, then so be it.  But it'll be more of a challenge to study for it later in the midst of college coursework.[/quote]
