[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was a huge mistake to stop offering the exams on site.  All it did was make it extremely difficult for those kids who were going to sit for an exam anyway (and their parents who had to waste time trying to find another school that would allow a non-student to sit).  I can’t fathom why they would have a problem with continuing to offer this option for students who want to use it.  Any purported equity rationale is ludicrous - just read the statement from Yale today (like others before it) explaining why requiring test scores actually promotes equity.  To be fair, at the junior meeting this year, CCO did encourage taking SAT or ACT and acknowledged that colleges are now saying that test scores matter even under test optional.  Not sure why CCO refuses to acknowledge that this applies to AP tests as well.[/quote]

Did any parent screw their courage to the sticking point, raise their hand, and ask?

So that’s a “No”?  All these parents complaining yet none of you has actually gone to the school and addressed it directly with admin? Don’t you all care about all those poor kids on FA being disadvantaged? Not enough to speak up, apparently. [/quote]
