PSAT, Test Optional, and the Resurgence of Standardized Tests
Join Jim Wismer and Jordan Holmes of Ivy Experience as we educate parents and students on all they need to know about the PSAT and share an update on the test-optional landscape from the perspective of our top test prep expert and a former admissions officer. Topics will include: how and why colleges use standardized testing in admissions; how "optional" testing is at specific colleges; trends in colleges returning to requiring scores; grade inflation and its impacts on admissions; the rise of AP scores as a factor in admissions decisions; a plan for evaluating how much time to devote to test prep based on the likelihood of your student's success; and the options available to students without test scores.
