Test scores are an enormous part of the college process.  Yes, some schools are going test-optional.  That doesn’t mean the schools are not considering applicants who have good test scores. It simply means that those with lower test scores can choose not to submit the scores.  Assuming your school has Naviance or some other software that tracks the admissions of past high school applicants, you should carefully review successful applications.

Your hope as a parent is to ensure that your child has the best possible chance of gaining admission to colleges of interest.  To do so, help ensure that your child scores highly on the SAT/ACT.
