Actually, test optional is working well. YOU might not like it, but colleges do.

This is what test optional produces. Boston College as an example:

"Having received the most undergraduate applications in its history this winter, Boston College is set to enroll a first-year class that furthers the University’s efforts to promote diversity as well as academic excellence, and provide higher-educational opportunities for underrepresented students, according to Director of Undergraduate Admission Grant Gosselin."

"Although BC, along with many other colleges and universities, was test-optional for the 2021-2022 admission cycle, 45 percent of applicants submitted test scores. The average SAT score among applicants is 1452, 33 for ACT.

Public high school students account for 62 percent of Class of 2026 applicants, while private and independent school applicants are 23 percent of the total, and students from Jesuit or Catholic high schools represent 15 percent."

You write colleges "like" it. Colleges like that it allows them to admit the class they seek to admit. What they are finding, and will continue to research over the next few years, is how well prepared the admitted class is for the most rigorous colleges. [/quote]
