[quote=Anonymous]Test optional saved my kid's mental health this year. We had a very traumatic family experience that led to serious depression and anxiety for my kid during junior year. Despite what she went through, she was able to maintain stellar grades. However, taking the SAT was just too much for her at the time. If she had been in a better state with her mental health I think she would have done quite well based on previous PSAT scores, etc. but I am so thankful we could take that stress off her. So far, she has been accepted into all the schools she applied to with merit aid (focused on matches and a couple of safeties, plus 1-2 reaches). If she has been in a situation where she had to take the test, I think we would be in a very different place. Lots of kids are struggling right now- test-optional is a way to take some of the pressure off when they need it.[/quote]
