[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test optional is a smokescreen to perpetuate admission discrimination and everyone knows it. Can’t wait for the Supreme Court to rule on these “holistic” policies. Low achievers love them but I hope everyone who supports test optional chooses a degree optional doctor for their next major surgery.[/quote]

I'm not against having a test....but the current ones are not accurate reflections of success in college. I have two children. One is high achieving in every way but works hard for it. Studied like crazy to earn a good score on the SAT/ACT but does very well on AP exams. We are lucky enough to be able to afford test prep for my child who wanted to work hard to improve their score. Not everyone is so lucky. DC will attend their first choice college and I'm confident will be successful.Younger sibling is a "low achiever" but great at tests like the SAT/ACT. Did absolutely no studying for it and got the same score the older child. Yet, struggles to pass AP exams because they don't study. I have a lot of concerns about success in college unless a lot of things change. [/quote]
