Should All Students Prepare for SAT® and ACT® Tests Since Sometimes Optional?

Some colleges have returned to requiring test scores, while most schools consider scores only if the student chooses to submit them.

A test-optional admissions policy typically means that a college does not require an SAT or ACT test score for general admittance.

Some colleges have returned to requiring test scores once again for first-year admission.

“Any student with competitive college goals should follow a plan that will prepare them for the most favorable college application. To be fully prepared, that would include a competitive test score, along with your best grades and accomplishments,” said David Dillard, CEO of KD College Prep.

As admissions at the nation’s most respected institutions grow more competitive, it is not uncommon for students to apply to up to 7-10 colleges. For most, the college list includes at least one test-optional or test-required college.

In some cases, submitting a test score may increase a student's chances of admittance to a test-optional college.

In contrast, a few colleges do not review test scores at all during the admissions process.

Since 1992, KD College Prep has helped students prepare for college admissions tests through in-person or live- online prep courses and activities.
