Families are invited to join us to examine the evolving role of standardized testing in today’s college admissions landscape. During this session, we will discuss the differences between test-required, test-optional, test-flexible, and test-blind policies. Families will learn when and how to submit test results, how testing policies may vary among institutions and change from year to year, and what to consider when deciding whether to take or send the SAT or ACT. The webinar will also include updates on recent changes to the ACT, guidance on English proficiency tests for international students, and an overview of AOA’s four-year testing plan designed to help students make informed choices about their individual testing pathways.
