[quote=ritap19]A look at scores since they have gone test optional show a relatively significant increase in the middle 50% score range, especially on the lower end. Before COVID/test optional, admitted student SAT scores were relatively stable for many years with the middle 50% between 1290-1460. Those stats steadily increased and are now between 1410-1520, with less than 40% of kids submitting scores. Have their applicants really improved by 120 points? No. I would argue it has either gone down or not really changed at all (as it had not in the ten years prior). If they are going to allow test optional, the policy should not punish kids that achieve a score of, say, 1350 or higher (in the top 10% of all test takers). Because I can guarantee you that the 60% of kids not submitting are well below that score.[/quote]
