I can see the lack of a confirming test being problematic for kids who attend schools with really tough grading scales.
The opposite. The mediocre schools where everyone gets an A is where you need the SAT. Some of those kids think 1400 is a great score. ( A fine score of course, but kids at rigorous schools with APs and A’s are 1500+).

I don’t think most students are concerned about the subject tests right now. Unless you are doing engineering. I’m sure most of those kids would like to take the physics test. DC would have taken it in the spring, but isn’t engineering so was a easy thing to forget. But several friends want to take it.

You realize there’s a pandemic, right? It’s not about “equity”
Schools run under the premise of "far and equitable" (see: laptop distribution and providing lunches for those less fortunate). I don't know if "fair and equitable" applies to testing, or applies to the other end, so to speak ie: you don't see TJ pandering to those less fortunate.
Wait.. Is TJ not distributing laptops to everyone and free lunches for those that need them?
The reference was to the fact that TJ doesn't accept certain groups, but that would be off topic.

I think that might be true, which means that all applicants should have access to subject tests, if they want them.
Anyone know?
Subject tests were not and will not be administered online. There is no way for that to be any more equitable than in person. These tests will never be online.
Agree. So what about the kids who had their tests cancelled?
NP. Subject tests are unimportant and have been for some time. SAT1 cancellations are a much bigger issue.
This is exactly what this thread is not about.

My DD is scheduled to take a SAT subject test in August. We have not heard anything from CB. We have contacted school, and they said so far the test is still on. A lot of schools have relaxed their policy on SAT subject tests, but DD wanted to try to get a couple of scores on her application.

Distributing lunches is safer during a pandemic than holding testing. No one is out to get you and your little genius.
Wow, that is an over reaction. Maybe the parents that this pertains to could answer, instead. Didn't mean to get personal there, chief.
NP here. You deserved it.
You sound really pleasant, and not angry at all. I can't imagine why your children aren't doing well in school.
“Penalizing the kids who like school” Wut ?!
