Thousand of US Colleges and Versities are dropping SAT/ACT requirement for Fall 2021 Admision

In the times of Pandemic COVID-19 that has hit humanity, taking a standardized test may not be a comfortable idea for many students. Normally 4-year colleges across ask for SAT/ACT score for SAT application. And the test score is also valid across many world locations. Though the college board is not leaving any stone unturned and promises home testing now with some upgrades. But if that is not enough and you are worried about Under Grad admission here is some more respite. 

• Dozens of colleges and universities are dropping SAT/ACT requirements for fall 2021 applicants, and some for longer
• 1,130+ Accredited 4-Year Colleges and Universities with ACT/SAT-Optional Policies (for Fall 2021 Admission)

Perhaps this will help many of you in better college planning even in times of crisis.

However, taking a test is better than not taking it at all. If you are comfortable writing SAT/ACT go for it, chose home testing / online testing. Its good decision of colleges to do away with the test or make test score optional, may students will be benefitted. But student life and exams go together. Take SAT/ACT as optional :-)

Stay safe!
