Test-optional colleges 2025 refers to the growing number of higher education institutions in the United States that have made the standardized testing requirement optional for admission. This means that applicants to these colleges do not have to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of their application.
The test-optional movement has gained momentum in recent years due to concerns about the fairness and validity of standardized tests. Critics argue that these tests are biased against certain groups of students, such as those from low-income families or underrepresented minorities. Additionally, they argue that standardized tests do not measure a student’s creativity, critical thinking skills, or potential for success in college.
