[quote=Anonymous]Some kids just don't "test well" so many schools have gone test optional. Other students don't write essays well. Wouldn't it be more equitable to have schools be essay optional as well? I have one child who is a fantastic test taker. He did very well on the PSATs, SATs, and AP tests with very little prep or retakes. GPA was fine too, but the essays really, really tripped him up. They were a huge source of stress. My second child is just the opposite. Test scores are moderate to low, but she can write personal essays beautifully and quickly. She's applying to all test optional schools and it just seems the whole process is so much easier for her as a result.[/quote]
