[quote=Anonymous]Think of “test optional” the same way your player would view an “optional practice”; she doesn’t have to do it, but she’s still expected to - and it will distinguish her from those who don’t.

Regardless if a school has a test optional policy, coaches at top academics will still ask if your DD has taken the SAT or ACT.

The job of any player with dreams of playing at a strong academic is to make herself as recruitable as possible.

Being a naturally-gifted athlete and playing on the right team with a history of recruiting success are two parts of this equation.

Having good grades and good scores are the other two.

Meeting a coach’s minimum score threshold makes it easier on them to help a player navigate admissions.

Not taking the test makes a coach’s job harder. You don’t want to make a coach’s job harder.

If your DD doesn’t take the SAT / ACT coaches will ask what her PSAT score is. Students usually take this mid sophomore year and don’t do well because they haven’t prepped for it.

You want to avoid being in this position.

If your DD takes the test and the number meets a coach’s minimum threshold, the player is in good shape. If it’s in the ballpark, the player could be asked to take it again.

Scores still matter.  25s and younger should begin working toward these tests by practicing / tutoring now. [/quote]
