For quite some time now, we have been blogging about the increasing trend of colleges becoming test-optional. According to the Times of India, over 1,600 US colleges are now test-optional and that represents over two-thirds of the country’s 2,330 bachelor-degree institutions.
We are still not certain this trend will become permanent. However, we are certain that taking and submitting an ACT or SAT score will still be beneficial to certain applicants depending on their particular profiles.
