College Admissions Testing for the HS Classes of 2024 and 2025

What are the SAT and ACT, why do they matter, and what can and should teens and their families do about them during this dynamic moment in college admissions history? The admissions landscape has shifted dramatically over the last five years, so make sure you stay on top of the newest developments:

— Why do the SAT & ACT still matter in the test optional era?
— Does it make sense to take the SAT or ACT if a student has a strong GPA?
— What does test optional really mean?
— When is the best time to take the SAT or ACT?
— What is the best preparation for the SAT, ACT, or PSAT?
— When will the SAT be moving to a digital adaptive test?
