[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test optional has made a surprising number of my students skip taking the test (or not worry about it and take it "just to see").  10 years ago kids would prep intensely, but i rarely see that now.

I realize that's not unique to FCPS, but it's an interesting variable.[/quote]

I've wondered if that would happen.  TBH, that sounds great.  Prepping for the SAT shouldn't even be a thing. [/quote]

It's a GOOD outcome if kids are less focused on the SAT/ACT.  [/quote]

And so the dumbing down continues.  Soon the only aptitude that will matter is the facility with which one can lay claim to membership in some oppressed group. [/quote]

I agree with you that White Christians are the most oppressed group.[/quote]

DP here, what a completely irrelevant response.  Go ahead, don't take the SAT or ACT. Continue to believe that the tests are "optional". They said it is so it must be true, right? I've read quite a few articles and listened to podcasts on college admissions since I have two kids going into college in the next 4 years. While the public stance of some schools are that tests are optional, the admission offers indicate that test have become much easier to access so it's a flag for them when a student is missing a test score. I don't doubt some students will get into one of the picky schools without a test score, but those will be the exceptions. [/quote]
